The remaining Universities produced less than 250 publications in 2010.

There was a growth trend in the number of publications by Universities from 1996 to 2008, which leveled off for some of them in 2009 and 2010. However, it has been a steady rise for for the Agricultural University of Athens/AUA, the Harokopio University of Athens/HUA, the University of Western Macedonia/UOWM and the University of Piraeus/UNIPI as shown in Figure 4.1.1.
