And it doesn't. What you've posted actually shows that. They've published more scientific papers than they used to. That's the figure that this growth is based upon.
Its iran because when you start from sticks and stones and end up with paper cups on string thats a massive **** off advance in technology and science. Also who said this? Iran? Did Iran let people in to check all this? Iran eh? BOLLOCKS!
i personally think its about iran not towing the line the way politics is though i wouldnt be suprised if we found out they were 'bezzy mates' really
really? so an oppressed religious country published the most scientific papers, because its oppressed by religion?
It might also have something to do with the main areas of growth in those scientific papers being nuclear chemistry, nuclear and particle physics and nuclear engineering.
i think its something to do with Iran being ruled by a ****ing moron who constantly mentions how he ****s over the thought of bombing Israel to obliteration.
They didn't publish the most scientific papers. They showed the highest growth in publishing those papers. Say I publish 1,000 papers one year and you publish 10. The next year I post 1,001 papers and you publish 12. You've shown more growth.
Who claimed it then? and where do they get their info from, and what has irans history got to do with now?
