摘要：
With an annual investment of over RMB1 trillion (around USD150 billion) in R&D in recent years, China is now considered a major contributor to science and technology in the world. This talk reviews the current situation in transport research, and considers whether it exhibits the same trend and pattern as those in the wider research community. In this talk, I analyse China’s transport research progress over the past two decades, based on the Web of Science (WoS) database published by Thomson Reuters. Despite criticism of the metrics, such as the impact factor, produced by this database (Banister, 2015), the aggregate information generated can still provide a rough indication of the status of research in the transport research community. Although there are numerous important publication outlets that are not listed in WoS, the data extracted from this database still serve as a good, representative sample of essential research outputs. In the following, I examine variations in publications, impact, sources of support and subjects based on the WoS database.
