Hello, Education editor Wade Zaglas here focussing on the top story of the week. 

One story that struck me as particularly impressive was Australia being ranked fifth in the number of Highly Cited Researchers (HCRs) in the sciences and social sciences fields according to analytics company The Web of Science Group. 

Indeed, one of the most notable finding was that Australia had tripled its number HCRs in six years: there were only 80 Australian HCRs named in 2014, compared with 217 in in 2019. While Australia has been actively recruiting HCRs from overseas since 2014, there has also been a steep increase in the number of homegrown HRCs.

Our population is modest (24,6 million), but that is not holding us bavck from being at the cutting-edge of research.
