Based on the concept that scientific research is an important component of a country's knowledge-based economy, this study aims to answer the question Are CIVETS the next BRICs by comparing a series of scientometrics indicators using data from the Essential Science Indicators database and the World Bank Report 2009. The main findings are that at the country group level, there is no significant difference between CIVETS and BRICs in knowledge-based economy performance, scientific research quality and scientific research structure and that the number of scientific research papers is the clear gap between them. The results may be of use to find the answer to the question Are CIVETS the next BRICs at least from the perspective of scientometrics.
