China's rising leadership in global science: Christopher Esposito and UCLA colleagues studied leadership using author contribution statements. Extracted items were clumped using K-means clustering. They then trained a neural net to predict leadership among international collaborations in a large sample of papers.

In US-China collaborations, comparing 2010-12 vs 2020-23 shows a drop in US leaders and a rise in Chinese leaders.
