The world map uses a color-coded thematic system where different shades of blue represent the volume or intensity of scientific production per country. Darker shades of blue indicate higher production levels, while lighter shades and grey indicate lower levels or no data. In North America, the “United States” is shaded in dark blue, signifying very high production, while “Canada” is a slightly lighter shade. In South America, “Brazil” is shaded in a medium blue, with most other countries in a lighter tone. In Europe, several countries like the “United Kingdom”, “Germany”, “Italy”, and “France” are shown in darker shades. In Asia, “China” and “Australia” in the Oceania region are also shaded in dark blue. “India” is highlighted in medium blue. Large portions of Africa and parts of Central Asia are shaded in light blue or grey, indicating lower scientific output. A hexagonal logo is present on the bottom right.Country-specific scientific production
