Summary of research footprint (see grafic below).
Citation impact is relatively good in all areas, but output is only just above G20 median, which is surprising for a G7 research economy. The Impact Profile shows that average performance is boosted by international collaboration, which accounts for 55% of total output. Productivity figures (per GERD and per researcher) are well above average, so output is not constrained by consistently low investment.
