Psychology is one of the most productive social sciences in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. However, authors from CEE countries continue to publish their work in national scientific journals and limit scientific collaboration to their own national context more often than their Western colleagues. As a result, their contribution to psychological science is largely unknown to the global community. The current study analyzes trends in paper publication in CEE journals, published in CEE countries, and non-CEE psychology journals, published outside of CEE countries, in the period between 1996 and 2013, as well as differences between these two groups of papers. A total of 3846 papers published in 286 journals by CEE authors were extracted from the Scopus database and subsequently analyzed. Among all published papers, 53.2% were published in 14 CEE journals, while 46.7% of papers were published in 272 non-CEE journals. Several general findings emerged from the analyses: (1) In the period between 1996 and 2004, CEE psychologists published their papers more frequently in CEE journals; (2) after 2007, the number of scientific papers increased overall; (3) after 2011, the difference between CEE and non-CEE papers demonstrated a constant and growing trend in favor of non-CEE journals; (4) while the research topics of papers published in both groups were similar, significant differences were found in the methodology applied, where research that used advanced or complex methodology was more often published in non-CEE journals and single-author and review papers were more often published in CEE journals. The significance of these results for European cohesion processes are discussed.

CEE作者对心理科学的贡献：1996—2013年Scopus检索的CEE与非CEE期刊论文比较分析

心理学是中欧和东欧 (CEE) 国家最具生产力的社会科学之一。然而，与西方同行相比，来自中东欧国家的作者继续在国家科学期刊上发表他们的工作，并将科学合作限制在他们自己的国家背景下。因此，他们对心理科学的贡献在很大程度上不为国际社会所知。目前的研究分析了 1996 年至 2013 年期间在中东欧国家出版的中东欧期刊和非中东欧心理学期刊上发表的论文趋势，以及这两组论文之间的差异。从 Scopus 数据库中提取了 CEE 作者在 286 种期刊上发表的总共 3846 篇论文并进行了分析。在所有发表的论文中，53。2% 的论文发表在 14 种 CEE 期刊上，而 46.7% 的论文发表在 272 种非 CEE 期刊上。从分析中得出了几个普遍的发现：（1）在 1996 年至 2004 年期间，中东欧心理学家在中东欧期刊上发表论文的频率更高；(2) 2007年以后，科学论文数量总体增加；(3) 2011年以后，CEE和非CEE论文之间的差异呈现出有利于非CEE期刊的持续增长趋势；(4) 虽然两组发表论文的研究主题相似，但在所应用的方法论上存在显着差异，其中使用先进或复杂方法论的研究更常发表在非 CEE 期刊上，单作者和评论论文发表的频率更高。经常在 CEE 期刊上发表。
