Wide differences of achievement in dermatological research between Denmark and Israel have been reported, although the two countries are comparable in terms of academic dermatological structure. The aims of the present study were to document these differences by means of bibliometric analysis, and to attempt to elucidate the causes of these differences. Employing MEDLINE searches for the 10-year period 1988-97, quantitative and qualitative comparisons of the dermatological publications from these two countries were conducted. We found the achievements of Danish dermatological research to be superior to those of Israel, and suggest that the large proportion of case reports and reviews is one cause of the relatively low ranking of Israeli dermatological research efforts.
