Serbia is the world “Star on the rise” in
several scientific areas, Science Watch announced and the daily “Politika”
published.
A serious
breakthrough in publishing scientific papers/works was seen in the following
fields: Biology and Biochemistry, Chemistry, Clinical medicine, Computer
science, Science on materials, Mathematics, Engineering, Neuroscience,
Pharmacology and Toxicology and Physics.
An equally
important news is that amongst the “stars on the rise” are two Serbian
scientists - academic Ivan Gutman from the Faculty of Mathematics, University
of Kragujevac (for the period August – October 2008; published in March 2009)
and dr Stevo Stevic from the Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of
Sciences and Arts SANU (for the period June – August 2008; published in January
2009) and October – December 2008; published in May 2009).
Serbia was singled out a few times last
year on the website of Thomson Reuters when a detailed report was published for
tendencies in the basic scientific research
In the past
decade Serbia has preceded
regional countries in the number of scientific papers and works, leaving Slovenia, Bulgaria
and Croatia
lagging behind.
For Serbian
researchers the most fruitful years were 2007 (2.054 works) and 2008 (2.558
works). 2009 seems to be a successful year as well with more than 2.000 works
(the count until end October was 1.991).
