Is This Data Evidence of a Scientist Shortage?
Though the National Science Board in 2004 warned of an impending scientist
shortage in the United States due to international competition and a post-9/11
culture, Thomson Scientific experts don't feel the United States' loss in
share is necessarily reflective of such a trend. With operational headquarters in Stamford,

decades, the United States has seen its share of world output of scientific
papers steadily decrease, while the collective shares of nations in the
European Union (EU) and the Asia Pacific region have increased, according to a
recent study published in Science Watch, the bimonthly newsletter of Thomson
Scientific, a business unit of The Thomson Corporation.
"These fluctuations in share can be attributed to a number of factors -
it's a complicated matter," said Small. In fact, the United States published
nearly 50 percent more papers in 2004 than it did in 1981, the first year of
available data, while the world total of papers increased by 56 percent (near-
parallel growth).
