Acknowledgements

The authors are grateful to Ettore Novellino, a member of the Italian National University Council (CUN), for the initial advice that we should perform electronic retrieval of university (full) professors’ publications in order to obtain the basic information to answer the Ministerial request concerning a bibliometric reference to be included in the minimum requirements in academic competition regulations, to Luigi Campanella, the President of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI), for his suggestion that we should publish the results of the work, and to Maria Careri and Aldo Roda, the President and the Past-President of the Analytical Chemistry Division of the SCI, for stimulating and useful discussions. We are also grateful to the Polytechnic University of Marche for its financial support.
