“…A stream of 4 We contacted Trieschmann and colleagues (2000) to obtain the ranking for the top 70 institutions because their article presents information only for the top 50 institutions. scientometric investigation focuses on research productivity (e.g., Gupta, Kumar, and Aggarwal 1999;Long et al 1998;Nwagwu 2006;Prpic 1996). This line of scientometric inquiry is consistent with Rosen's (1981) emphasis on imperfect substitution.…”

“…There are number of useful bibliometric studies available which have focused in part with Africa or with specific African countries [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, as noted by Tijssen [21] some lacks comprehensive cross-country comparison and their scope and coverage of the research literature is too constrained to serve as a broad cross-country analyses at African level.…”

“…the publication contributions of authors to a given discipline; he later propounded the Law of Scientific Productivity which states that the number of authors who have published a specific number of papers is approximately equal to the inverse square of that number multiplied by the number of authors who have published one paper only. Nwagwu (2006), while testing the validity of Lotka's law of productivity on four author categories of Nigeria's biomedical research for the period 1967 to 2002, namely 'all authors', 'first authors', 'non-collaborative authors' and 'co-authors', discovered that it was only the data on the co-author category that did not conform with the law. Furthermore, he posited that many developing countries are yet to utilize bibliometric methods in scientific information gathering.…”

“…Nwagwu (2006) conducted analysis on Nigerian biomedical literature and concluded that research activities in local universities have shrunk over the years due to the several challenges previously mentioned. In the area of diabetes, Harande (2011) examined Nigerian literature between the years 1996 and 2009; he said that even though there is a rapid growth in the publication of diabetes-related literature in the country, there remains a need for all health and health-allied workers to collaborate on how to effectively combat the disease.…”
