Abstract:
"Greek Scientific Publications 1993 – 2008: A bibliometric analysis of Greek publications in international scientific journals" is a study by the National Documentation Centre (EKT) aimed at identifying the basic characteristics of
the Greek scientific output between 1993-2008 and exploring Greece’s position in the international scientific landscape.
The study applied a bibliometric analysis of Greek scientific publications appearing in international journals between 1993-2008. Data for Greek scientific publications in international journals was analyzed systematically for bibliometric indicators
such as the number and (%) share of publications, the percent of cited papers, the number and (%) share of citations, the relative citation impact, the field normalised citation score (citation score) and the number and pencentile breakdown of top
publications belonging to the most cited publications in the world (1%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50%). Detailed information on the bibliometric indicators examined in the study is given in Annex I.

The study applied a bibliometric analysis of Greek scientific publications appearing in international journals between 1993-2008. Data for Greek scientific publications in international journals was analyzed systematically for bibliometric indicators such as the number and (%) share of publications, the percent of cited papers, the number and (%) share of citations, the relative citation impact, the field normalised citation score (citation score) and the number and pencentile breakdown of top publications belonging to the most cited publications in the world (1%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50%). Detailed information on the bibliometric indicators examined in the study is given in Annex I.
The indicators were calculated at three levels: for the sum of Greek publications, for 11 categories of institutions with similar activities (universities, research institutions, hospitals etc) as well as for 70 individual institutions. Changes over time, the characteristics of the distribution of publications by field of science along with the degree of collaboration developed nationally and internationally were also identified and measured.
Data was drawn from the National Science Indicators [NSI] and the National Citation Report Greece [NCR-Greece] databases of Thomson Reuters for the period between 1993-2008. Statistical analysis and bibliometric calculations for this study were facilitated by software especially developed by the National Documentation Centre to serve the purposes of this study.
In the following lines, we present the main conclusions, findings and figures, summarizing Greek scientific publishing activity, the main categories of publishing institutions, the main research fields in which high levels of publication activity were observed, and scientific collaborations at the national and international level. In-depth information about the institutions under examination and further methodological details are provided in the full, Greek, edition of the study along with detailed graphs and tables.
