Abstract
The number of scientific journal articles on trade patents reached a maximum of 2.93 million articles in 2020, indicating the close relationship between economic activity and technological innovation. This increase reflects the growing importance of intellectual property rights along with globalization. Over the past few decades, scientific research has become economically valuable, with obtaining and managing patents becoming directly linked to a company’s competitiveness. In particular, the rapid development of technological innovation and its commercial applications have raised the interest of patent strategies in trade. This trend suggests that companies will actively use patents to secure market advantages and increase investment in research and development.
Number of scientific journal articles
Between 1996 and 2020, the number of scientific journal articles on industrial design increased exponentially, reaching a peak of 2.93 million articles in 2020. This increase reflects the fact that industrial design has expanded beyond just aesthetics to include product functionality, user experience and sustainability. In particular, design thinking has come to be seen as important as a corporate innovation strategy, and the role of design has expanded alongside technological advances. Additionally, advances in digitalization have transformed the design process and led to more research being conducted. These trends indicate that industrial design is a factor that is directly linked to business competitiveness, and that emphasis is being placed on both scientific approaches and practical application.

Number of scientific journal articles (from around the world)
Between 1996 and 2020, the number of articles in Chinese scientific journals increased rapidly, reaching 670,000 articles in 2020. This rapid growth reflects China’s dramatic development in science and technology sectors and increasing research investment. Especially since the 2000s, the Chinese government’s ”science and technology powerhouse” policy and support for universities and research institutes have accelerated research activities. Participation in the international academic community has also increased, as Chinese researchers have become more influential globally. The sharp increase in the number of papers suggests deeper domestic and international scientific and technological exchanges and improved quality of scientific research, demonstrating China’s strengthening knowledge base. On the other hand, it has also been pointed out that this rapid growth has led to challenges in managing research diversity and quality. Overall, China’s expansion of research activities can be said to be contributing to the development of global science and technology.

Number of scientific journal articles (worldwide, latest year)
According to data from 2020, the total number of articles in scientific journals reached 2.9 million, of which China accounted for 670,000. China has the largest number of papers in the world, accounting for 23% of the total. This demonstrates the rapid development of China’s scientific research and its increasing international influence. The average number of papers is 14,900, with China’s share being significant, highlighting China’s presence among the world’s research power. Historically, China’s increased research activity has been driven by increased government investment in research, stronger international collaboration, and the growth of its higher education institutions. Since the 2000s, science and technology policies have been implemented with a focus on science and technology, and academic exchanges both domestically and internationally have become more active. On the other hand, the rapid increase in the number of papers has raised concerns about quality control and research diversity. Overall, these data indicate that China is establishing itself as a global leader in science and technology, and suggest an important role for China in global scientific research.
