AB This study examined research performance of chemists at Seoul
   National University (SNU), the most prestigious university in
   Korea, using the numbers of articles appearing in journals and
   the numbers of citations received by those articles covered by
   Science Citation Index (SCI) CD-ROM, 1992-1998. A total of 651
   papers published by the 29 faculty members of the Chemistry
   Department at SNU and indexed by SCI during the seven-year
   period were considered. US and Korean journals published in
   English were utilised predominantly, followed by UK journals.
   Major journals used by Korean chemists are Bulletin of the
   Korean Chemical Society (Korea), Tetrahedron Letters (UK),
   Journal of Physical Chemistry A (USA), Journal of Chemical
   Physics (USA) and Journal of the American Chemical Society
   (USA). In addition, half the Korean papers were published in
   journals having an impact factor of one or more. Among the 651
   publications, 388 were cited 2,376 times. Considering the
   number of citations received by Korean papers, in terms of
   journal country, papers published in US, UK and Dutch journals
   have a higher visibility than others. No correlation between
   the number of papers by a particular chemist and the average
   number of citations per paper for that chemist was indicated by
   the study.
