Almost 25% of the world's scientists live in developing
countries. However, these scientists publish less than 3% of the world's
papers. The top 7 cited countries are those with the 7 largest
economies. While, for instance and as a surprising point the Iranian
Federation of Public Health Schools has 18 schools in the country, of which
two are epidemiology training centers. Iran publishes 76 medical journals,
of which six are in English, but none is recognized by the world’s major
indexing and citation organizations.
