How to read this table
Comparing countries by these parameters highlights the difference between the total volume of research output and the quality of citations. A high number of publications paired with a low citation rate indicates varying levels of scientific intensity and impact. These values allow for tracking which countries produce more articles and how frequently they are cited in other research, based on aggregate figures for the entire period
What is visible in these numbers
Table columns: Number of publications; Number of citations; Number of citations per publication
75 out of 75 possible values are filled (100%) — there are practically no missing values
