Top 100 Inventors of Each Country
November 24, 2023
Let’s explore the concept of ranking the top 100 inventors of each country based on factors like average patents, average citations per patent, average pH-index, and co-author averages, which can provide valuable insights into innovation. These metrics offer a glimpse into the quantity, impact, and collaborative nature of inventors’ work.
| Country | Average Patents | Average Citations per Patent | Average pH-index* | Co-author Average |
| USA | 867 | 27 | 51 | 4 |
| Japan | 464 | 11 | 28 | 3 |
| South Korea | 419 | 3 | 13 | 4 |
| China | 269 | 3 | 10 | 4 |
| Germany | 231 | 7 | 18 | 4 |
| Great Britain | 134 | 12 | 17 | 3 |
| France | 113 | 10 | 15 | 3 |
| India | 105 | 3 | 7 | 3 |
The patent ph-index is calculated by counting the number of publications for which an author has been cited by other authors at least that same number of times. For instance, a ph-index of 17 means that the scientist has published at least 17 papers that have each been cited at least 17 times.
