Abstract

Scientometric studies are conducted in order to assess the quantitative and qualitative development of subjects especially in sciences. The present paper is an attempt to assess the qualitative and quantitative research output of genetics research based on the distribution of publications in different sub-specialities of genetics. The study compares the research priorities of 16 sub-specialities of genetics in 13 countries for two time-spans; 2002-2006 and 2007-2011. Comparative analysis is carried out based on the distribution of publications in different sub-specialities of genetics. Since the raw publication counts are confounded by the size of the countries and the size of the subject specialities, cross-national comparison is made using a relative indicator-Research Priority Index.
