Top 10 Countries in Publishing Science Papers & Articles

I was very much impressed by this list,since India is placed at 10th.This list was compiled by Royal Society of London which surveyed the various internationally recognized Science magazines. As i expected US tops the list with 21.2 percent of the total articles published,followed by China, this is something Indians have to look up, China have shot up from 6th position to 2nd in 4-5 years.In the same period India moved from 13th to 10th pushing Russia out of the top 10.
Its very important for India to be in this list so that Indian science fraternities will get reference and fund needed for new researches.I hope Indian government will invest in various researches and improve the infrastructure in the colleges and other educational institutions like IIT,IIS etc.
Its also very important for the teachers to make science classes as interesting as possible to the school kids, that is the time when kids starts exploring.We have to encourage our students to do research in various fields and government should fund them if needed.Still our kids lack behind in science lessons when compared to European countries.Below is the list of top 10 countries:

1.USA 21.2 percent
2.China10.2 percent
3.Britain6.5 percent
4.Japan6.1 percent
5.Germany6.0 percent
6.France4.4 percent
7.Canada4.0 percent
8.Italy3.0 percent
9.Spain3.0 percent
10.India2.0 percent
