The National Institute of Science and Technology Policy of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology summarizes the research trends of natural sciences in countries and regions around the world every year, and announces the latest status as "Science and Technology Index 2020".
Among them, when the number of papers per year is arranged in descending order based on the papers published in the three years until Ototoshito, China has more than 305,900, the United States has more than 281,400, and Germany has 60,000.

Over 8800, Germany was over 7,400, and Japan was over 3,800, in 9th place.
