| Limitations and exceptions: | Scientific
and technical article counts are from journals classified by the Institute
for Scientific Information's Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Sciences
Citation Index (SSCI). Counts are based on fractional assignments; articles
with authors from different countries are allocated proportionately to each
country. The SCI and SSCI databases cover the core set of scientific journals
but may exclude some of local importance and may reflect some bias toward
English-language journals. Articles are classified by year of publication and assigned to region/country/economy on basis of institutional address(es) listed on the article. Articles are counted on a fractional-count basis that is, for articles with collaborating institutions from multiple countries/economies, each country/economy receives fractional credit on basis of proportion of its participating institutions. Details may not add to total because of rounding. |

| Statistical concept and methodology: | The number of scientific and engineering articles published in the following fields: physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, clinical medicine, biomedical research, engineering and technology, and earth and space sciences. The NSF considers article counts from a set of journals covered by Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). | ||||||||
| Development relevance: | A
scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the
progress of science, usually by reporting new research. Most journals are
highly specialized, although some of the oldest journals such as Nature
publish articles and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific
fields. Scientific journals contain articles that have been peer reviewed.
When a scientific journal describes experiments or calculations, they must
supply enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the
experiment or calculation to verify the results. Each such journal article
becomes part of the permanent scientific record. Some journals, such as Nature, Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), and Physical Review Letters, have a reputation of publishing articles that mark a fundamental breakthrough in their respective fields. |
