Over at PubMed, they show you how many papers have been published each year on each topic.
From just one published paper in 1979, publications for the keyword me/cfs shot up during the eighties.
In 1990, 98 papers were published. in 1991 it was 228.
Then we had a plateau. The year 2000 saw 222 papers published.
2015 was the latest peak and holds the all time record, at 404 papers. But we've seen 103 papers published so far this year, on what is the last day of the first quarter of the year. If that rate continues, we should hit 412 papers published in 2018.
And I'm hopeful there will be more, since funding was starting to flow last year, and we know the Norwegians should have at least two papers to come out soon, (on Rituximab and cyclophosphamide). Plus Stanford should have some results hitting the journals at some stage too.
There has been a bit of a lull recently in really groundbreaking papers, but I am sure that won't last long!
