[Comparative scientometric analysis of the Proceedings of XIII and XIV Congresses of Russian psychiatrists: narcology].

An analysis of the chapter "Medical help for the substance abuses, clinic, treatment of the abusers, biological studies of the abuses' in the Proceedings of the last two Russian congresses of psychiatrists (XIII in 2000 and XIV in 2005) reveals the vast multiplicity of topics. The majority of topics featured in the XIII Congress does not provide any follow-up information in the materials of the XIV Congress thus not allowing to figure out the tendencies or consequences in the field of addiction studies. There is no uniformity in the vocabulary used in the chapter analyzed. The dominant topics such as alcoholism and opiate abuse make up a small part of the total amount of papers.
