AbstractTo evaluate the scientific output of Italy compared to other countries in clinical and basic research, the twelve top ranking journals according to the impact factor in each group were considered. A total impact factor score of one country was the sum of the impact factor of all articles attributed to a certain country in all journals. Italy ranked sixth in clinical research but only ninth in basic research. According to our analysis, the Italian scientific output in the biomedical field is comparable to that of other countries. Further financial analysis of the correlation between research funding and scientific output could allow a more productive allocation of resources.
