As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap

GERD = Gross Domestic Expenditure on R&D (It’s how much countries are spending on research and development)


Contribution to peer-reviewed scientific publications by various countries.

Development, progress, recognition: these do not comeĀ  accident.

Conclusion:

Robust R&D spending is necessary in order to make any significant contribution to the 21st century world we live in.
