Abstract:
Article presents a bibliometric analysis of social inequality research
published in the Republic of Moldova during 2000–2017, based on National
Bibliometric Instrument. The main results were as follows: there had been a no-
table growth trend in publication outputs in the Republic of Moldova. Journal of
Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science was the most active journal. Social
stratifi cation and social structure were top popular research topics. The Legal
and Political Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova was the
most productive institute for the total articles. However, the number publications and the extent of international and national collaborations were lower than
expected given the huge burden of social inequality problems.
