I am specifically looking for studies that can reproduce the results of this study/leaflet from 2010 that bases on Thompson Reuters Web of Science-Data:
http://sciencewatch.com/sites/sw/files/sw-article/media/globalresearchreport-africa.pdf
Interestingly, this study clusters internal African research cooperation by four groups (see p. 8), singling out not only the North-African States as a homogeneous group but also the Francophone countries of West Africa. However, Web of Science is known to be dominated by Anglophone journals. Therefore I wonder whether for example Scopus can deliver sharper pictures of such relationships, taking into account also Franco- and Lusophone publications.
Thanks in advance for any hints!
Best regards, Stefan
Stefan, please have a look at the Africa Report by the World Bank and Elsevier,
https://www.elsevier.com/connect/investing-in-stem-research-is-crucial-to-africas-future-finds-report-by-world-bank-and-elsevier
focuses slightly on Sub-Saharan Region, but we have much more info on this available.
Including data from Brain Circulation, Patents and much more...
Best regards
Jorg
