Singapore ranks most productive in Asia Pacific

But in terms of what, you might ask.

Singapore emerged as the most productive in Asia Pacific for publishing the highest number of research articles per capita and per research scientist, according to the Nature Publishing Index 2011 Asia-Pacific released by the Nature Publishing Group.

With its score of 10.39 research articles per million population and 1.90 articles per 1000 researchers, Singapore topped the chart in productivity. In contrast, Japan, which is ranked No. 1 in output of research articles, scored 2.83 research articles per million population and 0.43 research article per 1000 researchers.

Based on the 2009-2011 period, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research is placed 15th out of 200 research institutions in Asia-Pacific, with the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) emerging in 18th and 35th positions, respectively.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
