Abstract

Publication and citation indicators of 26 countries in 5 major science fields are presented in the form of three-dimensional “landscapes”. These “landscapes” being an extension of relational charts by adding the dimension of publication size to the expected and observed citation rates, take us one step closer to the ideal of multidimensional assessments so passionately advocated byMoravcsik.
