Global R&D Spending increased from 790b to 1.145b (2002-2007)
No of researchers increased from 5.7m to 7.1m (2002-2007)
Tunisia in 1999 had zero science budget, now 0.7% of GDP into
science.
Turkey’s R&D expenditure increased six times(1995-2007), the
number of scientists jumped by 43% and four times as many papers
with Turkish authors published (1996-2008).
Iran’s research papers rose from 736 in 1996 to 13,238 in 2008. Its
government is targetting to increase R&D to 4% of GDP by 2030.
