South Korean science on the global stage
Briefly

South Korea stands out for having the most researchers in science, technology, and innovation per million inhabitants, emphasizing its commitment to enhancing research output.
The breakdown of South Korea's natural-science output shows a clear dominance in the physical sciences, which accounts for nearly 55% of its total research contributions.
With modest gains in natural-science output from 2019 to 2023, South Korea's research landscape remains stable, significantly led by institutions like Samsung Group and Seoul National University.
Despite having a strong overall output, South Korea has seen minimal changes in the rankings of its key institutions, signaling a need for innovative strategies to boost research performance.
