Conclusions
The above analysis on the macro characteristics of research activity indicates that, in spite of the observed low level of national research output, research in astrosciences has shown quite a rapid progress in the last two decades. The productivity of astronomers — now about 0·3 publications/researcher per year — can be improved by making the scientific environment more conductive to research.
