Abstract:
This study focuses on the status of analytical chemistry publications among
the member states of the European Union (EU) during the cumulative 7-year
period 1993-1999. For assessing the scientific publication productivity in
analytical chemistry and its impact among the EU countries, the total number
of publications from each country, the number of publications per head of
population and the mean impact factor for each country are calculated.
Moreover, the preference to publish in specific journals per country is
appraised. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Extended Summary
This study focuses on the status of Analytical Chemistry publications among
the member states of European Union (EU) during the cumulative 7-year period
of 1993 - 1999. For assessing the scientific publication productivity in
Analytical Chemistry and its impact among the EU countries, the total
publication number from each country, the number of publications per
population unit and the mean impact factor for each country are calculated.
Moreover, the preference to publish in specific journals per country is
appraised.
The number of publications in Analytical Chemistry from the member states of
EU has been increased by 32.8% in comparison to the 1986-1992 period. Most
Analytical Chemistry articles in the EU have been published by German
scientists (8608 papers), while a steep increase in comparison to the
1986-1992 period, was observed for Portugal (275%) and Greece (95.5%).
Swedish scientists are the most productive in relation to the country’s
population, having published 206 papers per million of population.
Scientists from Sweden also publish in the highest impact analytical
journals with a mean impact factor of 1.98, while the EU mean impact factor
is 1.75. Journal of Chromatography, A is the main publishing medium for
scientists from almost all EU, indicating that a great deal of research is
going on in separation techniques. From the journals of general scope,
Analytica Chimica Acta publishes a significant portion of papers for many
researchers in EU.
