Publication and citation statistics

[Subbiah Arunachalam <arun@mssrf.res.in>]

Friends in liblicense/ sigmetrics list:

Is there anyone who can provide me data on the number of papers published
from different countries yearwise and the number of citations received by
these papers? As an example, say India published 12,000 papers in 1999 and
these 12,000 papers were collectively cited 8,000 times till the end of
2001. ISI, Philadelphia, can provide such data from its Science Citation
Index (or now web of Science/ Web of Knowledge) files. Are such data
actually available in the public domain?

The Second European Report on S&T Indicators has a table (Table 2c.6a)
which gives publication and citation counts for the ten leading countries
for four years in eight different fields.

Thanks and best wishes.
