Abstract: The objective of this study was to obtain a geographic world map
of scientific production in dentistry by analysing published papers.
Articles and reviews in the Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine category
published from 1999 to 2003 were accessed through the ISI database. The
data were analyzed quantitatively (number of documents, number of
researchers, productivity, interannual variation rate and relative
specialization index), qualitatively (weighted impact factor, relative
impact factor, citation rate per document and top 5 publications) and
socioeconomically (number of documents per inhabitant and per dentist and
in relation to the country's GDP). The USA, UK, Japan and Scandinavian
countries were found to be the most productive countries (number of
publications). Publications from Scandinavian countries were also of high
quality as measured by Impact Factor and Citation Rate, while the UK had
one of the highest productivity rates (number of documents per
researcher).
