A new study on the number of scientific publications per capita found that European countries led the world in research and innovation. The seven most productive countries in terms of scientific research articles published per citizen are: 1) Switzerland, 2) Sweden, 3) Denmark, 4) Israel, 5) Finland, 6), the Netherlands, and 7) Canada. The U.S. ranked twelfth while Germany ranked fifteenth in the study based on scientific articles from 2005.

The U.S. ranked Twelfth! Twelfth! Twelfth! Twelfth!
Well, I suppose that is good out of 196 or somthing. Is Greenland a country?
You can tell me any country and I will tell you it’s capital. I suppose you call that geography. Do you? Oh, that reminds me. Matt, how are you? Where is Mt. Kilimjaro located? I have a S.S projet and the maps are crap that they provide us. We have to do it in school! I think it is in Kenya (capital = Narobi). Can someone help me by 12-15-09?
north tanzania, south of kenya… capital of tanzania… de facto still dar es salaam, de jure moving inland to Dodoma.
Greenland (godthab/nuuk) is not a country, its a part of Denmark…
of course the US is ranked that low… our population is 300million… not ever is releasing scientific articles, just goes to show how many the US probably releases that we can be that high dispite being dilluted by a large population… per capita is a good measure for some metrics, total number, for others
