Science & Wealth
On July, 2004, Nature published a feature entitled The Scientific Impact of Nations. The article discuss relation between citation intensity and wealth intensity represented by a positive slope. In the graphic, we can see that citation intensity has a strong relation with wealth of a nation. The question is does wealth and citation intensity work uniquely, or one of the coordinate can be substitute and also gives a positive slope? Moreover, if statistics gives a good correlation, does it work in a causal sense in reality, or the number is ‘just’ a nice coincidence?
