Abstract

Commonly, bibliometric analysis at the national level measures the scientific performance through the complete production of articles and citations and through productivity related to the number of inhabitants. In our study we also report on efficiency as the scientific output obtained related to the available financing. The results indicate that only two African countries (South Africa and Tunisia) have covered a learning process and become mature entities in the R&D process, the productivity being doubled by efficiency.
