Publication rates

Figure 1.1 Publication rate of journal papers on radical polymerization and on living, controlled or mediated radical polymerization for period 1975-2002 based on SeiFinder search (as of Mar 2005).

This has led to an increased interest in the elucidation of the mechanistic details of such reactions and the photocatalytic properties of particulate semiconductors for the purposes of either trying to improve process efficiency prior to engineering scale-up or, in the case of acid rain production, deliberate inhibition. Indeed, as has been noted by Ollis and Al-Ekabi [44] and more recently reiterated by Hoffmann et al. [45], the average publication rate over the last 10 years in the areas of water, air and wastewater treatment alone exceeds 200 papers per year. The publication of authoritative review articles on colloidal semiconductors over the last decade has been correspondingly prolific [44-68] and the interested reader is referred to them for information beyond the scope of this review. 

The history of quantum calculations on mixed systems is interesting. Except for positronium, it all began in 1946 with a famous paper on polylep-tonic systems by Wheeler [2]. For the next fifty years, papers appeared at the glacial rate of about one every two years. Then two powerful methods appeared at about the same time in the hands of two powerful groups, and the publication rate increased abruptly by an order of magnitude. The number of publications per year shows an interesting pattern ...

Examining publications first, we note that between 1960-1980, approximately 5400 CVD-related publications were generated and are compiled in the bibliography by D. T. Hawkins. More recent years, indexed in electronic databases, exhibit much higher publication rates. For example. Figure 14 shows the number of journal articles, worldwide patents, and US patents generated each year from 1970 to 1999,... 

The relative importance of each of these properties for pharmaceutical and environmental sciences is then judged by the publication rate. Figure 9.1 shows the number of publications for each of these properties in subject categories pharmacology and pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, and environmental sciences as defined by ISI Web of Knowledge (http //www.isiknowledge.com). Notice that the same properties are much differently represented in other sciences for instance, in applied physics there are about 400 publications each year dealing with vapor pressure. 

SCHOMAKER was concerned about whether there are examples of wrong protein structure determinations and whether there is any relation to the low publication rate. JOHNSON replied that it is difficult to know when you are finished with a protein structure but that the confidence level is much higher with results at 2 A than at, say, 6 A. He felt that there was no great risk of completely wrong structures using mir phases.

In the near future, U.S. chemistry will be the leader or among world leaders in all areas, but not in all subareas. Because of the advance of chemistry in other nations, competition is increasing and the lead of U.S. chemistry will shrink. There will be increasing competition from our traditional European competitors, the expanding European Union, Japan, and other Asian countries, particularly China and India. U.S. leadership in chemistry publications will continue to diminish. As U.S. publication rates remain steady, the number and quality of papers from other countries are increasing. 

Publication rates over roughly the past 15 years (1988 to present) in all of science and in chemistry. 

U.S. leadership in chemistry publications will continue to diminish. As U.S. publication rates remain steady, the number of papers from other countries is increasing. The quality of international chemistry publications also is increasing. 

Enhancement of Pool Nucleate Boiling Heat Transfer. Study of the enhancement of boiling heat transfer has been one of the fastest-growing areas of research in recent years. The annual publication rate in this area has grown to around 300 papers per year (Bergles [135]). 

Perhaps most noteworthy would be methodical ascents (or descents) in publication rates, but no major trends are discernible from Figure 3 (nor from the tables from which it was derived). One might expect the lifting of an oppressive political system in Russia or the political and economic changes in Germany to show up in our data, but no such trends are evident. Compared to other nations, Russia, as we define it here, has had the resources and scientific interest to maintain their level of contribution to the two computational chemistry journals between 2 and 4%, while Germany has stayed in the range 5-9%. 

This may be an appropriate time to review the metal-catalysed reactions of hydrocarbons. The importance of several major industrial processes which depend on these reactions - petroleum reforming, fat hardening, removal of polyunsaturated molecules from alkene-rich gas streams - has generated a great body of applied and fundamental research, the intensity of which is declining as new challenges appear. This does not of course mean that we have a perfect understanding of hydrocarbon reactions this is not possible, but the decline in the publication rate provides a window of opportunity to review past achievements and the present status of the field.

With regard to credit rating, the Jumbo market has developed considerably from its inception in 1995. In that year, only three of the issuers were formally rated. During 2003 all issuers were rated by one or more of the public rating agencies. 

Barclays Capital has developed an index for the European CCABS market, called the Barclays European Credit Card Indicators (BECCI). BECCI includes approximately 12 billion equivalent in receivables held in publicly rated ABS credit card transactions. It covers approximately 85% of the whole European credit card ABS market. Transactions are not included if their performance data is not or not yet publicly available. The various performance indicators are calculated on a weighted average based on the publicly rated notes outstanding. 

I regret that it has not yet proved possible to capitalize on the faster publication rate that the camera-ready format makes possible several factors have contributed to this unfortunate situation, the most serious being a postal error between authors which should not be repeated. We are well aware of the need to hasten the process. 

Figure 1 Publication rate of journal papers on radical polymerization and on living, controlled, or mediated radical polymerization for the period 1975-2008 based on SciFinder search (as of March 2010). It does not distinguish forms of controlled radical polymerization. It includes most papers on ATRP, RAFT, and NMP and would also include conventional, non-RDRP, controlled radical polymerizations. It would not include papers, which do not mention the terms living , controlled , or mediated .
