Abstract

This paper provides a statistical evaluation of the publication record of Tamás Pócs, from 1954 to 2022. During this period, he contributed to 550 publications of which 232 were authored only by himself. Frequency histograms are used to demonstrate the distribution of the number of his articles, books and book chapters for six variables: topic, document type, number of authors, year of appearance, geographical scope and language. It is remarkable that his publication activity was the highest in the past 20 years. Principal components analysis is used to reveal the correlation structure between ten features characterizing the publications.
