EasyChair Preprint 7118

Abstract

 Nowadays, everything is related to the economic power of a country. But what is the relevance with Open Science? The aim of this research is to find out whether there is an impact of the socio-economic background on open science, and specifically to the number of publications that are produced every year. In order to find out which is the relevance, we performed research dedicated to two countries in a completely different rank in the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for the last three decades and compared our results graphically. We came to the conclusion that indeed the impact of the socio-economy is huge, but this is not the only factor that influences the publications' productions.

Keyphrases: Background, GDP, Publications, production, socio-economic
