plus 4-month period, from January 1998 to April 30, 2008. With this
update, the data pool expanded to include an additional 2,141
scientists, 332 institutions, 20 countries, and 150 journals that are
either entirely new to Essential Science Indicators, or new to
one of the database’s 22 fields. ScienceWatch.com
presents a listing of those New Entrants who showed the greatest total
