该报告以SCI论文为统计源,利用文献计量学方法,从科研规模和科研效率两个维度对中国科学的整体表现进行了分析。结果表明：2015年,中国科研规模已经具有相当的体量,成为仅次于美国的科研大国;但中国科研活动的效率居于世界第12位,与世界科技强国相比还存在显著差距。中国应着重关注科研效率的提升。

Based on the WoS database provided by Clarivate Analytics, the study focused on two dimensions of research scale and efficiency; and evaluated the research performance of Chinese academic publications. The statistics results showed that: only second to the USA in terms of research scale, China has successfully maintained its high-ranking position in 2015. This, however, does not necessarily mean that China has been a science power, with respect to research efficiency-ranked 12th in the world, which revealed a noticeable gap between China and developed countries. China should focus more on the improvement of the research efficiency.
