Abstract

This is a correspondence on an article by Karandikar and Sunder and an article by Pichappan (both published in Current Science 2003, issue 85) that present some misgivings about the use of Science Citation Index-based publication counts. Arunachalam discusses why the stance taken, the total number of papers published from a country should not be used as a science indicator, is extreme.
