摘要
The output in research of South Africa is measured in terms of citable documents and it is investigated if this output is in line with what should be expected from a country with the population and economy of South Africa. The expected relationship is calculated by making use of the data of the top 86 countries. It was found that the research output of South Africa is very much in line with what should be expected.
