Abstract:
Research activity in the Balkan and East Mediterranean countries was
evaluated on the basis of publications appearing in Analytical Abstracts
(AA) during the cumulative 8-year period of 1994-2001. This was accomplished
by assessing the scientific publication productivity in analytical chemistry
as the number of publications from each country and the number of
publications per population unit. To assess the impact in the scientific
community, the mean impact factor for each country was calculated. The
publication productivity trend was recorded for the 7-year period 1994-2000.
Moreover, the preference to publish in specific journals per country was
appraised. According to the total number of publications, Egypt (765
publications) and Greece (717 publications) are the most productive
countries, while Slovenia shows the highest number of publications per
million of population (140). Scientists from Israel published their work in
the highest impact analytical journals with a mean impact factor of 2.02,
followed by Slovenia (mean impact factor of 1.67) and Greece (mean impact
factor of 1.53). Studies of scientists from different countries do not show
any obvious preference to a single specific journal. It is interesting to
note that preference for journals reveals the research interests of
scientists from each country for sub-fields of analytical chemistry. (C)
