I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654757240979234018.post-79209365609676452972009-10-19T10:28:25.564+01:002009-10-19T10:28:25.564+01:00Thanks for your comment, Caroline.
Your descripti...Thanks for your comment, Caroline.<br /><br />Your description is accurate: there is indeed a peak (in 2007, with 288 papers), and an apparent fall since then.<br /><br />There are a total of two data points since 2007, and I suspect that both are underestimates. In the case of 2009, that's almost a certainty: two and a half months of 2009 are still to come, which is plenty of time for more publications. In the case of 2008, it's probable that there are still a few papers awaiting indexing by PubMed, though probably only a few.<br /><br />For these reasons, I believe it is a mistake to pay too much attention to years later than 2007.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079606157046664850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654757240979234018.post-33170734078504479522009-10-19T03:53:23.310+01:002009-10-19T03:53:23.310+01:00If each dot represents a year, it appears that the...If each dot represents a year, it appears that the number of papers peaked around 06 or 07 and has been dropping steadily since then. <br /><br />I agree, that generally, the rate has gone way up since 1970, but I question your use of a best fit line in this case. <br /><br />It would be interesting to start the graph at 2006 and then see what happens these next few years.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466844710657574885noreply@blogger.com
