Abstract

Cities, we are here told, are where in the main knowledge is created and best shared. The number of locally
written scientific papers will depend on many factors be these macro-economic or social-economic in their
nature and even embracing considerations having to do with the size of any city, its enjoying an established
scientific community and even where it stands as within the world’s co-operative scientific network. This paper
which is based upon SCI-E data attempts to establish the placing enjoyed by major cities as within the
scientific information world while, at the same time, to trace the tendencies in this during the period from
1981 to 2002. The findings here are felt to show a shift towards a concentration by trend in the metropolitan
world and thus a progressive decentralizing of scientific publishing way from the great megalopolis in
favour of medium sized cities. The author however poses his own caveat here as to whether this general trend
answers to a truly democratic process in the metropolitan world or rather to considerations not strictly tied
in with the growth of the activity.
