Citation estimates vs. progress by field in the United States and China. Note: Each dot represents a field. The X-axis is the estimated treatment effects on citations and the Y-axis is the estimated posttreatment research progress for China and the United States, relative to the other 48 countries and the pretreatment period. The figure shows the relationship between how much treated scientists’ publication citations in a field are impacted by the investigations (x-axis) and how much U.S. and China’s overall publications in that field are impacted. The sample is restricted to fields with greater than 50,000 publications in the data.
