Abstract

The study examined the contribution of twenty agricultural universities to the mainstream scientific literature during 2007-20011 along two distinct, but inter-related dimensions of quantity (number of papers, number of international collaborative papers) and quality of research output (assessed through the citations received) A number of measures are used for inter-field and inter-university comparisons. Inter-field comparisons are made at the level of 10 macro subject fields.
