“…Based on the entire population of Nobel laureates in science from 1901 to 2017, Heinze et al (2019) found, in a study that, North America's rise as global power in science started in the 1920s and consolidated in 1970s but in 2000, its scientific hegemony witnessed a downward trend as its share of laureates across disciplines dropped. The research in its further findings explained that:…”

“…North America has become apparently less effective since 2010 in transferring capacities for conducting ground-breaking research from one generation of scientists to another. Heinze et al (2019) North America's scientific hegemony has often been attributed to the organizational design of its research universities, which compete more actively for scientific talent and adopt scientific innovations faster than universities and research institutions in Europe (and elsewhere). In another view, it is observed that while the US is busy with excitement derived in waging wars with some developing countries as custodian of the position of world superpower, China is busy, strategically penetrating with its soft power capacity in Africa and Asia axis.…”

“…The key among such issues was the identified finding of declining in North American scientific research. Heinze et al (2019) found that North America has become apparently less effective since 2010 in transferring capacities for conducting ground-breaking research from one generation of scientists to another since 2000s while Europe and the Asia-Pacific region seem to be catching up.…”

China, the current world's largest populated country is located in East of the Asian continent on a landmass of (9,596,961km) (3,705,407miles) that makes her the third world largest land area after Russia and Canada. China's current population is (1,427,647,786) in 2018 and running its economy at a GDP of US$12.24 Trillion in 2017. Comparatively, both the USA and China are highly competitive on the issue of the World economic hegemony position, particularly in view of the current Chinese economic progress. Many factors make a nation hegemonic power. With changes in international affairs, different factors are being fashioned as prerequisites for hegemonic power. Theoretically, a large growing economy, dominance in the technological sector and advanced military power, landmass, sovereignty, and large human resources. China is becoming relevant in most of these conditions. However, U.S. has been for a long time the single hegemon since World War II. The influence burgeons stronger particularly, after the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union that ended a multipolar world order. However, the research after analyzed other factors, found that America is still strongly relevant as hegemonic power. It is found there are challenges confronting the U.S. in maintaining the position while there are marked indications that China may become a world hegemon in the far future should upward trends in economic prospects persist. However, China's human rights records, her diplomatic relations with some Asian countries that are linked to the South China Sea issues, and her relationship with her extended states like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, Macao including the clampdown on the people of Xinjiang on the basis of their Islamic religious belief are serious concerns that must be addressed. China should devise scientific method to study, forecast, prevent and manage natural disaster and health issues of pandemic or epidemic context like SARS and Covid-19 that are disastrous to economic progress. The study is a library research. It sources data in secondary archives, government information, books, published journal articles, online materials, and a few other academic sources.

The research agenda on global academic elites (e.g., those awarded the Nobel Prize) has overlooked academic awards and elites from developing countries and the public symbolic recognition of scientific elites by research awards. In this study, we examine the bibliometric features of individual researcher profiles of those participants who received a special mention in Colombia’s most prestigious prize in the sciences: the Alejandro Ángel Escobar Prize (AAEP). First, we chart the citation per article trend of Colombia’s most prolific researchers before and after receiving the special mention and the AAEP. We then compare the special mention group with those awarded the AAEP, using a composite citation indicator of six scientific impact and productivity indices to estimate (1) bulk impact (number of citations and h index) and (2) authorship order adjusted impact (Schreiber hm index; total citations for articles of which the scientist is the single author; total citations for articles of which the scientist is the single or first author; and total citations for articles of which the scientist is the single, first, or last author). Results show that there is no overall halo effect in citation per article after receiving the special mention or the AAEP. Such recognition comes after an academically productive career marked by multiple citations per article peaks. There is no clear-cut division between the composite citation indicator of those awarded a special mention and those awarded the AAEP. Findings place the profile of local authors in an adjusted and inclusive framework that takes full cognisance of the scientific elites in developing countries.
