a. Percentages based on sampling only. For all other years complete counts of abstracts were
made. No separate counts were made in 1943 for Austria, Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. For
these same countries no data are available for 1909 either.
b. Aside from England the strong contributors of the British Empire have been, in order, India
(now outside the Empire), Canada, Australia, Union of South Africa, New Zealand, and Scotland. Of the
4,077 British papers abstracted in 1947, 3,167 came from England, 427 came from Canada, 294 from
Australia, 58 from Union of South Africa, 49 from New Zealand, and 43 from Scotland. There were 608
abstracts from Indian papers in 1947.
C. Formerly classed with British Empire.
d. The figures for "all others", somewhat irregular because more countries (those mentioned in
a
above) are included for 1909 and 1943, show that chemical research activity, almost monopolized in the
earlier years by the countries listed in the table, has become more world-wide. In the years after
World War I scientific research activity strengthened notably in such European countries as Poland and
Czechoslovakia, and the growing and spreading have been steady if slow in many smaller nations not
directly affected by war. The peak seems to have been reached in prosperous 1929.
e. Total number of journal abstracts for 1948 was 35,867 of which 2,308 were of Russian origin,
information is not available at this time for other countries.
