Abstract
Percentage distributions of physics papers in 36 countries over ten subfields are compared. Factor and cluster analyses are applied to data from 1978Physics Abstracts. Countries load highly on seven factors. Their meaning is estimated by factor scores. Clusters of countries with similar publishing patterns are presented in a tree diagram.

The comparison of the internal activity indicators of various countries show that the self‐regulating mechanism of scientific research tends to keep an even distribution of efforts in each of the physics subfields on a worldwide scale.
