Jeffrey, attached a word doc with data on scientific publications from Iran and Iraq: number of
publications from 2000-2009, how often the arc cited, and the h-index for authors. An h-index
of X means the author has X publications cited at least X times each — a simple way to
combine quantity and quality into a single number.
There are some pitfalls in interpreting this type of data. It includes any publication with one
author from Iran/Iraq. Some of publications may have only minor contributions from there.
Some fields, like Math, Econ or Informatics, tend to be underrepresented because of the way
how publishing works in these fields. A world-class mathematician might for example have
problems to keep up with a mediocre clinician in terms of publication and citation counts. One
can correct for such factors, but the optimal way depends on the objectives of the analysis.
Let me know whether these data are useful to you.
All the best
Thomas

Hi Jeffrey, it's possible to search the Web of Science database
by country. A quick analysis of publications from Iran and Iraq
shouldn't take long. I could send you something by beginning of
next week, and you can check whether the data are helpful. Is
that a good way to proceed?
All the best
Thomas
