The Global Landscape of Medical Education Research Authorship

Country contributions were tabulated for each paper, aggregated across all papers, and ranked by total number. Country contribution ranks are shown on the map, and the percentage of total country contributions by ranked country are shown below the map. The map was generated by the rworldmap package [10], with a base map generated from public domain data. Countries shown in grey had no identified authorships in the dataset. Unique country contributions were only counted once per paper (due to papers with authors from several countries, there are more total country contributions than papers). The vast majority of MER authors are from the US, Canada, Australia, and Western Europe
