This indicator gives the number of articles published in scientific and technical journals for each country in areas such as mathematics, physics and engineering. Taking all countries together, this number almost doubled between 1990 and 2011 to reach 842,756 articles in 2011. The United States and the European Union produced 55% of these published articles. Their proportion of the total has however decreased as they accounted for 75% of the articles published in 1990. Publication in scientific and technical journals by developing countries has increased, notably in the Asian countries that have seen strong economic growth over the period.
