Science policy and decision making in China has been boosted by the establishment of its first scientometrics research laboratory.

Scientometrics—the measurement and analysis of science—has a key role to play in science policy and decision making. The new research laboratory, co-funded by Thomson Reuters and the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China (ISTIC), will focus on fostering and strengthening China’s academic exchange with the international scientometrics community. It will provide a platform for enhancing scholarly communication and research collaboration in China using scientific literature resources and data analysis tools

The ISTIC-Thomson Reuters Joint Lab for Scientometrics Research is located within ISTIC, and will organize regular seminars to which internationally renowned scientometricians and experts will be invited. Dr. Henry Small, Chief Scientist of the Scientific business of Thomson Reuters and ex-president of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI), is a founding member of the laboratory.
