“…Potential causes, notably inadequate funding, have been raised in . Similar concerns have been expressed regarding a decline in randomised controlled trials from Canadian departments [4] and in contributions to anaesthesia journals from departments in the United States [3,10,11] and these results are also consistent with our data. These authors have suggested shortages of anaesthesia providers, lack of research time for anaesthetists and a lack of formalised research programs for trainees in anaesthesia as contributory factors.…”

National representation in the anaesthesia literature: a bibliometric analysis of highly cited anaesthesia journals^*

SummaryWhile previous studies have investigated the country of origin of anaesthetic publications, they have generally used a MEDLINE computer search to identify original articles and have often excluded non-English language articles. We undertook a hand-search of journals in the Journal Citation Reports Ò using the subject category of Anesthesiology. We quantified the number of original articles, editorials, review articles, case reports and correspondence attributed to each country. We also calculated the proportion of articles of each type from countries of each national income category. We analysed 9684 articles published in 2007 and

“…1), notably that we hand-searched [5,6] each article to determine its categorisation as an original article, editorial etc., rather than rely on the classification provided by MEDLINE [10]. While our methodology is more conservative, it will perhaps allow more robust comparisons to be made in the future.…”

How international is bioethics? A quantitative retrospective study

2006

BackgroundStudying the contribution of individual countries to leading journals in a specific discipline can highlight which countries have the most impact on that discipline and whether a geographic bias exists. This article aims to examine the international distribution of publications in the field of bioethics.MethodsRetrospective quantitative study of nine peer reviewed journals in the field of bioethics and medical ethics (Bioethics, Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, Hastings Center Report, Journal of Clinical Ethics, Journal of Medical Ethics, Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, Nursing Ethics, Christian Bioethics, and Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics).ResultsIn total, 4,029 articles published between 1990 and 2003 were retrieved from the nine bioethical journals under study. The United States (59.3%, n = 2390), the United Kingdom (13.5%, n = 544), Canada (4%, n = 160) and Australia (3.8%, n = 154) had the highest number of publications in terms of absolute number of publications. When normalized to population size, smaller affluent countries, such as New Zealand, Finland and Sweden were more productive than the United States. The number of studies originating from the USA was decreasing in the period between 1990 and 2003.ConclusionWhile a lot of peer reviewed journals in the field of bioethics profile themselves as international journals, they certainly do not live up to what one would expect from an "international" journal. The fact that English speaking countries, and to a larger extent American authors, dominate the international journals in the field of bioethics is a clear geographic bias towards the bioethical discussions that are going on in these journals.

“…Previous geographic studies of countries' contribution to research on other diseases have consistently shown that the U.S. share of scientific literature relative to other countries has declined over the last two decades (Figueredo, Sanchez, & Munoz, 2003;Kessler et al, 1995;Nahrwold, Pereira, & Dupuis, 1995;Rahman & Fukui, 2002). The main objectives of the present study are (a) to map changes in national contributions to PTSD research over the last two decades as an indicator of the diagnosis' international acceptance, (b) to assess whether the share of research from countries other than the United States has increased in PTSD as it has in other areas, and (c) to compare the quality of the research conducted in each country using scientific articles' number of citations as an indicator of excellence.…”

The aim of this study was to quantify changes in the national contributions to research related to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from 1983 through 2002. Using the Web of Science database (Thomson Scientific, Philadelphia, PA), we classified articles according to the year of publication and the country of the authors. The number of publishing countries increased from 7 between 1983 and 1987 to 39 between 1998 and 2002. Meanwhile, the U.S. output share declined from 87.6% in the first period to 62.4%. Although the number of countries publishing on PTSD has steadily increased, research is still dominated qualitatively and quantitatively by developed countries. These findings suggest a growing international acceptance of this diagnostic category. However, the immaturity of PTSD research is demonstrated by the concentration of publications in a few countries.
