13 ANNUAL REPORT EKT
The new study, which is based on data from the international bibliographic database Scopus, is
the latest in a series of three studies. Our intention was to create a sound basis upon which to
present and monitor the exploitation of the data which directs the research environment of Greece,
in comparison with that of EU and OECD countries, on a usable research policy making level.
With the use of indicators from Web of Science/ Thomas Reuters in the previous two studies and
Scopus / Elsevier for this study, we not only give a fuller picture of indicators which significantly
characterise current reality and the evolution of the scientific production of the country, but also
widen the number of Greek publications and the scientific fields which are covered. According to the
results of the study, the data fromScopus confirm that during the period 1996-2010 Greek publications
were strongly positioned in the international environment as regards impact, originality, quality and
recognition. The indicators as a whole and the position of Greece in the EU, the OECD and at an
international level were stronger, the impact of publications increased and the performances of the
organisations improved.
“
During the five-year period 2006-2010, Greek publication
with 4.98 citations per publication exceeded the average
of the OECD [4.79], according to the Scopus database
”
During the five-year period 2006-2010, Greek publications received 4.98 citations per publication,
which was higher than the average of the OECD [4.79]. A high impact was recorded for all scientific
fields, with the highest being in the field of the Humanities [the relative impact indicator was 1.14
against the world average of 1], and was followed by Engineering and Technology [1.12], Agricultural
Sciences [0.99], Natural Sciences [0.97], Medical and Health Sciences [0.93] and Social Sciences [0.81].
The study includes analytical data for 95 organisations which were grouped into 8 categories
[Universities, TEI, Research Centres which are supervised by the General Secretariat for Research
and Technology, Other Public Research Institutions, Public Health Institutions, Private Health
Institutions, Other Public Institutions and Other Private Institutions.]
