During 1988-91 Medline indexed 14 064 UK cardiovascular papers carrying the names of 21 000 authors. The 100 most frequently appearing names in this list were identified as the most 'visible' cardiovascular researchers in the UK during this period. Their institutional locations were recorded and are shown in the map (Figure 12). The most striking finding was the dominance of London; 69 of the 100 most visible authors were located at addresses in the capital. An attempt was also made to look at the distribution of publications across institutions within the UK (Figure 13). The SCI database was used as it is the only one to provide addresses for all authors on a paper. The results show the total number of cardiovascular papers and the total number of citations during the period studied: 1981-86. The institutions are ranked by average citations per paper.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b20456633_0031.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
