The UK has overtaken the US in terms of the quality of physics-research output, according to a new report carried out by
Evidence
, which is owned by information-services provider Thomson Reuters. The report,
Bibliometric evaluation and international benchmarking of the UK's physics research
, states that the UK is now second to Canada when ranked on the quality of research papers, measured as the average number of times that such papers are cited.

Michael Banks, news editor of Physics World.
