Central Library Figure 117: International co-publications of the countries analysed in 2007, relativised with respect to the publication output of each country 143
Central Library With the aid of a network analysis, we studied the output of South-East Asian countries (both between the countries studied and with others outside this area) and illustrated the results in the form of a network diagram. Using Salton’s measure, a normalisation was performed. The results of these investigations allow us to draw the conclusion that cooperation between the countries studied has intensified in the period from 1998 to 2007 and that an Asia-Pacific research area has emerged. This conclusion is based solely on the bibliometric analyses performed in this study and must be supplemented with more results before it can be generalised. A counter example, in which ten selected countries with the same bibliometric parameters are investigated in the same manner as the South-East Asian countries, should furthermore prove that increasing networking activities within the research area investigated cannot be explained by a general global increase in international cooperations nor are they simply a matter of coincidence. Verification of networks using randomly selected countries In the preceding investigation, different analysis methods revealed that cooperation between the key countries increased disproportionately between 1998 and 2007. To conclude that the proportion of international co-publications has generally increased worldwide, the same method will be applied in the following to a counter sample of ten 9 selected countries 10 . Figure 118 shows the annual number of scientific publications by the selected comparative countries between 1992 and 2007. Germany and Japan, which have already been analysed in relation to South-East Asia, once again come out way ahead of the other countries. France and Russia follow in third place. In the case of Russia, the drop in the number of scientific papers must be considered in the context of the political collapse. Excluding Russia, the publication output of all countries investigated increased between 1992 and 2007. Publication output of the ten selected countries between 1992 and 2007 120000 100000 number of publications 80000 60000 40000 20000 0 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Argentina Brazil France Germany Japan Mexico South Africa South Korea Ukraine Russia Figure 118: Publication output of the ten selected countries between 1992 and 2007 9 The countries chosen are: Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Ukraine and Russia. 10 The selection was made based on the following criteria: both small and large countries (measured in terms of publication output), countries from South-East Asia, as well as countries with and without geographical relationships. 144
