The number of publications includes citable publications of the type Article, Letter, Note and Reviews (9,174 in total). The bibliometric data presented as ‘Until 1998' is from 1993 until the time of application in 1998, and ‘Between 1999 and 2006' only includes the publications from the time of application until 2006. The total impact factor is the sum of the journal impact factors where the publications appeared. The average impact factor is the mean value of the total impact factor divided by the number of publications.
*The difference in mean values is statistically significant (P < 0.05);
+the arithmetic mean values are 2.06 (women) and 2.61 (men).
