Science “following” Japanese research
日本の研究者が、ある研究テーマに取り組む時期は、世界の最先端から平均1年～1年半ほど遅れているという調査結果を、東京大学などのチームが発表しました
A team from the University of Tokyo and other institutions has announced the results of a survey showing that Japanese researchers are on average one to one and a half years behind the world’s most cutting-edge researchers when tackling a certain research topic.
先端的な研究に取り組む力そのものが落ちて、世界のトップ集団から外れ、テーマ選びでもアメリカなどに「後追い」されていると言います
He says that his ability to engage in cutting-edge research has declined, that he has fallen out of the world’s top group, and that he is being ``followed’’ by countries such as the United States when it comes to choosing topics.
It has been pointed out that this may be due to the fact that it is easier to receive research funding by saying things like ``this is research that is being done in the United States’’ rather than emphasizing the uniqueness of the theme.’’
