Number and relative percentage of ISI and Non-ISI publications produced by research-
ers of each of the LTER networks associated with ILTER. For latitudinal ranges and countries
included in zones A to E see Table
13.1
language publication venues such as Japan, China, and those in Eastern Europe
appear to publish relatively less in ISI journals. Networks in Zone A (
Arctic
) have
the highest proportion of their publications in ISI journals. This may indicate care-
ful targeting of publication, and/or success in getting local publication titles listed in
ISI. In Zone B (
North Temperate
), European countries tend to have more ISI than
non-ISI publications. In contrast the US, Japan, and specially China have larger
numbers of non-ISI than ISI publications. In the US many of the non-ISI publica-
tions include theses and dissertations. China, in turn, includes many publications in
national non-ISI venues.
Regarding Zones B, C, and D, it is noticeable that Mexico and Chile produce
more ISI than non-ISI publications. The opposite is true for Brazil. In the analyses
summarized by Fig.
13.7
it is important to note that there probably signifi cant data
missing due to incomplete bibliographies available in national-scale networks in
Zones C, D, and E. Networks included in these zones have not made network-wide
bibliographies readily available. For example, Red Mex-LTER in Mexico includes
