Abstract: Journal publications on Antarctic science were analysed for a 
period of 25 years (1980-2004) through a set of scientometrics and network 
analysis techniques. The study is based on 10 942 records (research 
articles, review articles, letters, etc.) with the word fragment "antarc*" 
in the title published in 961 international, peer-reviewed journals and 
retrieved from Thomson Scientific's Science Citation index database. 
During the period under investigation, productivity increased threefold 
and there was a 13-fold increase in journal publications co-written by 
authors from different countries. The five nations with the highest output 
were the USA (with 26.7% of the total output), the UK (13.8%), Australia 
(9.7%), Germany (8.8%) and Italy (6.0%). The top five institutions in 
terms of journal publications were the British Antarctic Survey (972 
publications), the Alfred Wegener Institute of Polar and Marine Research, 
Germany (475), the Australian Antarctic Division (312), the University of 
Tasmania, Australia (305), and the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, USA (293).
