About the indicator

The number of scientific and technical articles published during the year in peer-reviewed journals in the natural sciences and engineering, medicine, agriculture and mathematics. Articles are counted by the country of the authors' affiliation; under international co-authorship an article is counted for each country, so the sum over countries exceeds the world total.
