Figure 38: Publications by the countries studied 1998 – 2007 according to research discipline<br />

Approximately one third of all articles in the Science Citation Index come from medicine. This is<br />

the reason why medicine is the field with the highest number of publications in many but not all<br />

of the countries, as shown in Figures 35 to 38. In China, for example, physics and chemistry<br />

represent a significantly higher proportion of the total number of publications compared to<br />

medicine. The same is true of engineering in Singapore, which is much more strongly<br />

pronounced than medicine, and of chemistry in Iran.<br />

The next page provides a summary of the absolute number of publications by each country per<br />

discipline for the entire period under review here.<br />
