Table 10: Total output of the countries and number of collaborative papers with at least one of the other
comparative countries for the period 1998 – 2007
Table 10 shows the total output of the selected countries for the period 1998 to 2007 and the
number of articles published by these countries in cooperation with at least one of the other
selected countries. Table 11 contains these values as percentages. In 1998, Ukraine and
Russia published the most within this community of countries. While these figures were around
17 % and 13 % for the selected comparative countries, they were well above this in South-East
Asia: approx. 32 % for Indonesia, approx. 21 % for Thailand and approx. 19 % for Vietnam.
Furthermore, as shown in Figures 119 and 120, no clear relationship was found between the
publication output of a country and cooperation with one of the randomly selected countries.
Although the share of jointly published articles increased in the case of seven of the ten
randomly selected countries between 1998 and 2007 (see Table 12), the figures for the South-
East Asian countries increased even more significantly. Taken together, the selected
comparative countries published a total of 273,810 scientific journal articles in 1998 and
357,203 in 2007.
