America's science decline

This short video captures part of a public presentation by Neil deGrasse Tyson about how the amount of peer-reviewed scientific research done in the U.S. has decreased since 2000, and increased in other places like Japan, China, and Europe. Very concerning (for America, anyway): Visit aroblesCG 's YouTube channel [ video link ]. I wonder what the maps look like after they've been corrected for each country's GDP during this same time frame? Any ideas? .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
