title: [Psychosomatic and medical psychology: shift and drift of the publication practice of the academic representatives].
abstract: The publication practice of the medical-psychological and psychosomatic chairs was the subject of a systematic investigation for the period 1992-1996 in this journal. The background was the discussion about quality and qualification of the academic newcomers. Now, most of the German university medical schools spend the budget--among other criteria--in accordance with the publication practice of the academic representative and their coworkers. The question arises, whether and how the chairs have changed their publication practice in comparison for the period 1998-2002.
