Pakistan's Performance Below Average
According to the Times Higher Education, three Asian countries currently have a higher score than the world average: Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia and China. Other nations, such as Pakistan, still rank below the world average but have seen a boost over recent years. The only country to have recorded a dip is Japan.
The Times said, "When looking at the top six subjects for citation scores in certain countries, we can see that the region tends towards science and social science subjects as opposed to arts and humanities. The business and economics research coming out of the region is particularly highly cited, as is work on computer science and engineering."
