Scientific productivity is closely related to gross income, population, and cultures of the countries. Every country, more or less, has a responsibility of contributing to science.
The publications, citations received, and the h-index under the category of "dermatology" in 43 journals between the years of 1999-2003 and 2004-2008 according to the ISI JCR data of 2008 were examined individually for each OECD country.
In the journals under the category of "dermatology" between the years of 1999 and 2008, there were 89,319 publications, 76,899 of which were published by OECD countries. USA ranks first with 27,109 publications and 196,002 citations; Germany, Japan, England, and France are the other countries among the top five, respectively. Regarding the number of publications, Turkey and Korea are among the top 10 by surpassing many Northern European countries. With regard to h-index and citations, Northern European countries and Canada rank among the top 10, while Japan, Spain, Turkey, and Korea rank behind. The number of publications showed a significant correlation with the number of citations, population, gross domestic product, and h-index.
Nearly half of all publications were performed by the European origin OECD countries, and one-third of all publications were performed by USA. Journals from Germany and France, which are published in their own language, receive fewer citations, but they contribute a lot to these countries with respect to the number of publications.
科学产出与国家的总收入、人口和文化密切相关。每个国家或多或少都有责任为科学做出贡献。
根据 2008 年 ISI JCR 数据，我们对 OECD 国家在 1999 年至 2003 年和 2004 年至 2008 年间 43 种期刊“皮肤科”类别下的出版物、引用次数和 h 指数进行了单独检查。
在 1999 年至 2008 年间的“皮肤科”期刊中，共有 89319 篇出版物，其中 76899 篇来自 OECD 国家。美国以 27109 篇出版物和 196002 次引用排名第一；德国、日本、英国和法国分别位列前五名。就出版物数量而言，土耳其和韩国超过了许多北欧国家，位列前十。在 h 指数和引用次数方面，北欧国家和加拿大位列前十，而日本、西班牙、土耳其和韩国则位列其后。出版物数量与引用次数、人口、国内生产总值和 h 指数呈显著相关。
近一半的出版物来自欧洲裔的 OECD 国家，三分之一的出版物来自美国。德国和法国以本国语言出版的期刊引用次数较少，但就出版物数量而言，对这些国家的贡献很大。
