This report came to my attention a short while ago, it was sent to me by a colleague at the University of Oxford. While most of this blog is about social media, science, networks and ranking, which we might think of as the “weather” in science this report it more of a “climate” analysis. Anyone who is interested understanding the trends of science on a century by century timescale would do well to read this report. Although it is very much an executive summary, there is some good commentary and the report contains some carefully considered and beautifully produced infographics.
