Science is an increasingly global activity, as demonstrated through the exchange of knowledge, resources, and people across national borders. Exchanges, however, can often be asymmetrical, leading to concentrations within science. Using bibliometric data, this presentation will explore the scientific product space of nations, how these develop, and the impact of scientific mobility, global funding, and collaboration on national science portfolios. The presentation will discuss threats to an equitable global science system (e.g., helicopter science and isolationism), challenges (e.g., language barriers and the monopoly of a lingua franca), and opportunities (e.g., science diplomacy and collective infrastructure). The presentation will close by a review of relevant global science policies and recommendations for the use of bibliometrics in generating and evaluating national and international science policy.
