In this impressive poster developed by Dick Klavans and Bradford Paley, with the help of Kevin Boyack and ISI data, one can see the variations in how different nations pursue science. The concept is not only ingenious but also takes full advantage of the page layout where it's quite easy to make sensible comparisons between the nations placed side-by-side.
This visualization analyzes a full span of 23 scientific areas such as Astrophysics, Math or Biochemistry, over 10 nations - USA, United Kingdom, France, China, Australia, Germany, Taiwan, Canada, Spain and Japan.
