This map shows the geographic distribution of research published in Physical Review Letters. It shows the number of citations received by papers published by authors working in each country. You can also color the map by specialization and compare the number of papers published in Physical Review Letters with the expected number of papers based on a country's size and research output (numbers larger than one mean the country's share of papers is larger than expected).
