(Bilingual)全球十大科研城市中国占“半壁江山” ，广州在列

该增刊还深入研究科研城市在各个学科领域的数据，中国城市在自然指数追踪的大多数学科领域，都保持甚至扩大了领先地位：中国有8个城市跻身化学领域十强城市；在物理科学十强城市和地球与环境科学十强城市中，也各有6个中国城市。北京在所有这些学科领域都位居榜首，但规模小于它的省会城市也强化了竞争力。例如，南京在化学领域位居第三；在物理科学领域首次超越波士顿和纽约，跃升至第三位；过去四年还在地球和环境科学领域一直保持第二位。

The Nature Index showed that Beijing has remained the world's top science city since 2016. Meanwhile, Chinese cities, especially provincial capitals such as Nanjing, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Hefei and Xi'an, have greatly enhanced their position as globally competitive science centers.

The Nature Index noted that many of these rapidly developing cities are a specialist role in key technology areas such as electric vehicles and solar energy.

According to the supplement, there is evident progress in the health sciences, an area where Chinese cities still lag behind their Western counterparts.

The Nature Index data showed that although Beijing and Shanghai have maintained a clear lead, the growth in chemistry output from some of China's smaller cities could mark them as future contenders in this field.

在生物科学领域，美国一直保持领先地位，纽约和波士顿继续占据榜首位置。不过，2023年的排名发生了重要的变化——北京由于在该学科领域的强劲增长而升至第三位。

美国在健康科学方面也保持领先地位，有5个美国城市跻身前十，但位居榜首的波士顿是前十中唯一实现了2022—2023年调整后份额正增长的美国城市，增幅约为7%。北京位居第六，其份额同期增长近18%。

自然指数主编西蒙·贝克(Simon Baker)表示，在北京不断扩大其科研城市榜首优势之际，2023年一个令人关注的进展是中国省会城市的崛起，从西部的成都、到东部的合肥。这些在西方不为人熟知的城市，如今已跻身自然科学三十强城市之列，与欧洲和北美老牌的科研中心比肩而立。即使在健康科学领域，仍落后于西方的中国城市也取得了明显进步。

自然指数由施普林格·自然旗下的自然科研智讯编制，是一个包括作者单位信息和机构间关系的公开数据库，它追踪各机构对145种高质量自然科学和健康科学期刊上发表的科研论文的贡献情况。这些期刊均由独立的科研人员小组依据期刊声誉选出。

In physical sciences, the eastern city of Nanjing climbed above Boston and New York for the first time to reach third place.

With its continued focus on sustainability and ecological protection, China is cementing itself as a leader in Earth and environmental sciences, according to the Nature Index. Beijing, Nanjing and Guangzhou are the three leading cities in the subject.
