This study investigates the progress of highly cited research in China from 2001 to 2016 through the analysis of the Highly Cited database. The Highly Cited database, compiled by Clarivate Analytics, is comprised of the world's most influential researchers in the 22 Essential Science Indicator fields as catalogued by the Web of Science. The database is considered an international standard for the measurement of national and institutional highly cited research output. Overall, we found a consistent and substantial increase in Highly Cited Researchers from China during the timespan. The Chinese institutions with the most Highly Cited Researchers- the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, the University of Science and Technology of China, and BGI Shenzhen- are all top ten universities or primary government research institutions. Further evaluation of separate fields of research and government funding data from the National Natural Science Foundation of China revealed disproportionate growth efficiencies among the separate divisions of the National Natural Science Foundation. The most development occurred in the fields of Chemistry, Materials Sciences, and Engineering, whereas the least development occurred in Economics and Business, Health Sciences, and Life Sciences.
本研究通过对科睿唯安的高被引数据库的分析，调查了 2001 年至 2016 年期间中国高被引研究的进展。科睿唯安的高被引数据库收录了 Web of Science 中 22 个基础科学指标领域中最有影响力的全球研究人员，被认为是衡量国家和机构高被引研究产出的国际标准。总的来说，我们发现中国的高被引研究人员在这段时间内持续且大幅增加。拥有最多高被引研究人员的中国机构——中国科学院、清华大学、北京大学、浙江大学、中国科学技术大学和深圳华大基因，均位列十大高校或主要政府研究机构。对个别研究领域和中国国家自然科学基金委的政府资助数据的进一步评估表明，国家自然科学基金委的各个部门之间存在不成比例的增长效率。发展最为迅速的是化学、材料科学和工程领域，而经济学和商业、健康科学以及生命科学领域的发展则最为缓慢。
