Abstract

An analysis carried out on the 4,326 periodicals in the social sciences included in the mostrecent 1991 printed edition of the UNESCO DARE database showed that 64% of the world'sproduction is published by High Income Economy countries (IEC). Only 0.7% of Low IECjournals in the UNESCO database were also present in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)for the same year while corresponding figures for the Middle and High IEC were 2.3%, and97.0%, respectively. With the notable exception of the United States, all countries had fewerjournals in SSCI than in UNESCO database.
