what this has to do with Islamic regime propaganda ?  These are things that are printed in the U.S news?

who cares about IRI and their propaganda  anymore .......

Fair ...... This growth is admirable anyway

This growth is admirable anyway giving the fact that Iran is facing scientific sanction  which directly or indirectly is suppressing Iranian scientific community............ The Sanction even prevents editing or publishing scientific manuscripts from Iran which then would be a violation to its trade embargo . .........US publishers and scientific societies are greatly divided over this and are not even sure how to respond............

As far as I know some have left with no choice but to follow this policy.....  That includes American Nuclear Society, the American Chemical Society and the American Society for Microbiology !

I thought April first was on Friday!

No point in debating this discredited package of lies originating from the islamist regime's ministry of propaganda.

The undeniable fact is that under the islamist regime, Iran has been scientifically isolated and in decline. the best and brightest have either left in Iran, or executed or undergoing torture and rape at islamist regime's Evin and alike.

 As soon as the islamist regime is overthrown, hundreds of thousands of Iranian scientists and technologists will return home, join hands with their fellow compatriots and return Iran to where it should be, high up in science and technology league.

Iran also leads in the Stem cell Research

"Though the world's attention has focused on Iran's advancing nuclear program, Iranian scientists have moved to the forefront in embryonic stem cell research, according to a recent joint study by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

Thanks Yolanda for posting this .....

Thank you, Fair, for your input! Very interesting....so apparently, Iran's growth rate is #1 in publications, but with very low baseline!

Not impressed

When your starting number is a pathetically low coulple of hundred of papers, it is easy to have a high growth rate.  Start from 0 and your growth will be infinite!  Iran has 11000 papers worldwide, compare to South Korea who has 33000 papers worldwide, is only 2/3 our population, has no natural resources, and was behind Iran 30 years ago.  This is just a reflection of how mullahs (with the help of the "reformer" abdolkarim soroush) destroyed science and the universities in the first decade of the revolution.

Also, note that the papers have a high concentration in the nuclear field, a technology that Iran needs like a hole in the head.  We should be doing research in high tech, clean energy, petrochemicals, and other areas where we can actually export and be productive in.   The last thing Iran needs today is nuclear energy and nuclear research, another clear sign of stupidity from a regime whose minister of higher education is a fraud and does not even have a legitimate degree.

Be carefull Yolanda

Next you will be accused of spreading terrorism.

Which country's scientific output rose 18-fold between 1996 and 2008, from 736 published papers to 13,238? The answer – Iran – might surprise many people, especially in the western nations used to leading science. Iran has the fastest rate of increase in scientific publication in the world.
