Abstract:
Wide differences of achievement in dermatological research between Denmark
and Israel have been reported, although the two countries are comparable in
terms of academic dermatological structure. The aims of the present study
were to document these differences by means of bibliometric analysis, and to
attempt to elucidate the causes of these differences. Employing MEDLINE
searches for the 10-year period 1988-97, quantitative and qualitative
comparisons of the dermatological publications from these two countries were
conducted. We found the achievements of Danish dermatological research to be
superior to those of Israel, and suggest that the large proportion of case
reports and reviews is one cause of the relatively low ranking of Israeli
dermatological research efforts.
