Description
Elsevier was commissioned by the Scottish Science Advisory Council (SSAC), to undertake a bibliometric-based assessment of the performance of Scotland’s scientific research base to provide ministers, officials and interested stakeholders with an objective overview. Similar analysis has been conducted for the UK, Scotland and Wales separately, in the past. Of course, publication outputs relate to only one of the many facets of the research system, but they do at least give an indication of the publication performance relative to other countries.
The report tracks the performance of Scotland’s scientific research base over a ten-year period (2007-2016), analysing a number of indicators relating to the number and citation impact of publications from Scotland, compared with other UK nations, selected European counties (Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands and Sweden) and non-European countries (Israel, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore and Switzerland) that are similar in population and economic size.
