Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to assess the 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 10 Asian countries for two time-spans; 1992-2001 and 2002-2011, using PubMed database. 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.
