基于引文的科学计量指标，例如来自汤森路透（Thomson Reuters）科学信息研究所（ISI）数据库的期刊引文报告（JCR）的影响因子（IF），已经成为评估单个科学家、部门、院系、整个大学、其他研究机构甚至国家和大陆的研究绩效的常用工具（尽管并非没有争议）[2-8]。尽管将其作为研究绩效的唯一指标的粗暴使用受到质疑[9-12]，特别是在考虑跨学科的原始影响因子值时，没有一些标准化程序[4,13 - 22]，但人们普遍认为，引用和影响因子表明（与之相关）期刊b[23]的科学质量，事实上，它们可以与其他指标一起用于知情的同行评议；由于来自政府的请求越来越频繁，这种做法确实在扩大[10,17,22,24]。在国际层面上，仅举一个例子，引文和共被引分析是很久以前由经济合作与发展组织（OECD）引入的[25,26]，现在它们总是用于对几个研究领域的国家绩效进行两年一次的评估[25 - 27]。发表的科学计量学论文主要涉及：分析化学的国家和地区研究进展[28-33]、欧盟分析化学[34-36]、分析化学期刊质量的演变[[37]]、光谱自动化的演变[[38]]、全球分析化学研究热点（100篇被引论文）[[39]]、分析化学的世界版图[6,40 - 42]。然而，目前还没有通过对大学教授的出版物进行科学计量学分析来评估一个国家在分析化学方面的学术表现。
Citation-based scientometric indicators, for example impact factor (IF) of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) database of Thomson Reuters [1], have become common (though not uncontroversial) tools for evaluation of the research performance of individual scientists, departments, faculties, and full universities, other research institutions, or even nations and continents [2–8]. Although their crude use as sole indicators of research performance has been questioned [9–12], particularly when original IF values across disciplines are considered without some normalization procedure [4, 13–22], it is generally acknowledged that citations and impact factors indicate (are correlated with) the scientific quality of journals [23] and that they can in fact be used, together with other indicators, for informed peer review; and the practice is indeed expanding because of the increasing frequency of requests from governments [10, 17, 22, 24]. At an international level, to quote only one example, citation and co-citation analyses were introduced long ago by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)[25, 26] and now they are always used for biannual evaluation of national performance in several fields of research [25–27].Several scientometric papers have been published concerning: national and regional research performance in analytical chemistry [28–33], analytical chemistry in the European Union (EU)[34–36], the evolution of quality in analytical chemistry journals [37], the evolution of automation in spectroscopy [38], hot topics in global analytical chemistry research (100 most cited papers)[39], and mapping the world of analytical chemistry [6, 40–42]. However, there has been no evaluation of the academic performance of a nation in analytical chemistry through scientometric analysis of the publications of university professors.
