AB This note presents a quantitative bibliometric analysis based
   on information obtained from the PsycINFO database concerning
   publication patterns in different subfields of Scandinavian
   psychology for the years 1984 to 1997. A cluster analysis shows
   that the publication profiles of the Scandinavian countries are
   more similar to each other than to both the profile of the USA
   and a norm profile based on all countries except the USA and
   Scandinavia. The main differences are that the relative
   proportions of articles dealing with psychological disorders
   are higher and the relative proportions of articles dealing
   with educational psychology are lower for Scandinavia than for
   the rest of the world. Within the Scandinavian countries,
   Finland and Sweden form one cluster with higher relative
   proportions of psychophysiological articles, and Denmark and
   Norway form one cluster with higher relative proportions of
   articles dealing with psychological disorders.
