South Africa's research publication record : the last ten years : science policy

Year: 2003
Type: article
Abstract: HIS ARTICLE SUMMARIZES SOUTH AFRICA’S research publication record as provided in the databases of the Institute for Scientific Information in Philadelphia. The focus is on changes during the 1990s, situated in the context of the previous decade. I find that the country’s publications are losing ground to scientifically emerging countries in Asia, South America and Europe, and that the decline beginning in the late 1980s continues to characterize South Africa’s science.
