Who benefits from a country’s scientific research?

作者:

Highlights:

• When a publication is cited it generates a benefit.

• We trace countries that benefit from results produced in a national research system.

• We examine how the knowledge flows vary across fields, in each beneficiary country.

• We also measure the field comparative advantage of countries.

• The results from this method can inform bilateral research collaboration policies.
