Abstract:
The study presented here analyzed the contents of 36 international
infectious diseases journals from 1991 to 2001 to determine the number of
reports prepared by authors in the European Union and to compare the per
country scientific productivity. Articles included in the study were
identified using the PubMed website. The number of publications in
infectious disease journals produced by authors in the European Union
experienced an exponential growth from 461 (19.2% of world production) in
1991 to 2,401 (35.9%) in 2001. The mean impact factor increased from 2.259
in 1991 to 3.001 in 2001. The leading countries in the total number of
publications were the UK, France, and Germany. After taking population
figures into account, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland headed the list, and
after correcting for gross domestic product, the greatest producers were
Sweden, Finland, and the UK. Overall, the scientific production and
repercussion index of European Union research on infectious diseases
experienced a notable rise during the last decade of the 20th century.
