    Science and social science research are crucial to the nation's long-term sustainable progress in both the social and economic spheres. The advancement of living standards and quality of life is supported by scientific and social science research advances. Many countries are rapidly transitioning to a knowledge-based economy and lessening their reliance on their natural resources as a result. This is due to the growing importance of research in a country's economic success. Research funding is crucial for the advancement of science and technology as well as for the growth of society and the economy. Bibliometric indicators are vital instruments for figuring out the extent, growth, and global distribution of research in order to recognize and evaluate its progress. Bibliometric indicators are commonly used to evaluate the scientific production, visibility, and capacity of research publications in the context of global science. These statistics are mostly based on the number of published scientific research documents and their citations. Bibliometric indicators evaluate the quantity and quality of research output, and structural indicators analyze the relationship between authors, publications, and topics of research in general science. Science and technology cannot exist unless researchers provide evidence for and publicize the results of their experiments. Keeping these factors in mind, the current study intended to create a strong and more objective ranking system for a country that can evaluate the quality and quantity of a country's research output than the existing techniques. In This thesis, we have developed an evaluation metric called the AtE ratio to evaluate a country's performance in terms of its international visibility in terms of scientific productivity. As a quantitative and qualitative indicator, all publications with at least one author from the target country, as well as the number of citations, are counted on a particular topic. The ratios of actual publications or citations to expected values (AtE), which are estimated based on the country's GDP and population size, are used to evaluate the country's international visibility. If the ratio is higher than one, the associated country performs well in comparison to its global presence. Additionally, we have created a website that allows for more flexible data processing and visualization. There was a large amount of information. Many criteria were taken into account, including the number of scientific categories, subcategories, countries, published articles, citations, and publication journals. As it was not possible to incorporate all of the outcomes in this study, with the help of this website we will be able to display and understand data for any desired period of time between 2001-2020, for any chosen custom combined factors. We calculated AtE ratios in four different approaches for eight different scientific areas and provided the top 20 countries with the greatest AtE ratios. The findings are shown in 19 figures and 8 tables. From the results, we notice that only Israel appears in all 32 categories. This signifies that, given its GDP share and population size, Israel is performing remarkably well in the output of science and has invested significantly in research. The majority of the top twenty countries also have high incomes. Nonetheless, Cyprus is the only small country among non-high-income countries to have appeared on the list 15 times, a testament to the country's tireless efforts to produce research in the best possible way. Furthermore, we also show the top ten countries with the most papers, published in all categories without any normalization. Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands are among the top 20 countries, with AtE ratios of 28, 27, and 27 times, respectively. This demonstrates that, despite having a smaller population and a lower GDP than other wealthy countries, these countries have generated science on par with those countries in terms of quantity and quality. Another significant element is that the United States was listed among the top 20 countries on multiple occasions. The actual versus expected number of publications or citations depending on GDP or population is represented by the AtE ratio. The United States has the largest GDP in the world. It is the world's third most populous country in terms of population. To be among the top 20 countries in terms of AtE ratios, a country must publish massive numbers of publications with high citations. It is astonishing that the United States has done it 20 times. Other countries with smaller GDPs than the US, such as China and India, could only appear on the list four and three times, demonstrating the vast disparity between these countries. These findings indicate the United States' vast and unequaled global power in high-quality science production. In addition, we investigated Turkey's ranking as a special case in eight scientific fields. In terms of the total number of publications, it has the highest global position of 17, which is in the areas of "Engineering and Computer Sciences" and "Health and Medical Sciences." Similarly, Turkey's AtE ratio is greater than one only in the "Engineering and Computer Sciences" and "Health and Medical Sciences" categories, where it is 1.15 and 1.06, respectively. These findings suggest that Turkey's policymakers should focus more on scientific research in order to boost the country's science production in terms of quantity and quality. Finally, it can be said that this is a new framework that makes us examine the science production of countries from a new angle by considering their GDP share and population size. Policy makers also better understand in which areas their country has weaknesses and strengths in the production of science and whether they are playing their part according to their size in the world or not.
