In the period 1996-2010, the TEIs of Athens and Thessaloniki were found to produce the majority of publications in this category. However, their output decreased in the period following 2009.

Figure 5.1.3 presents data related to the quantity of publication output by each TEI and its share in the total output of the category "TEIs" –over the period 2006-2010–. "TEIs" were ranked in a descending order as follows: ΤΕΙ of Athens 682 (23,8%), ΤΕΙ of Crete 409 (14,3%), ΤΕΙ of Thessaloniki 374 (13%), ΤΕΙ of Larissa 227 (7.9%), ΤΕΙ of Piraeus 183 (6.4%), ΤΕΙ of West Macedonia 180 (6.3%) and TEI of Kavala 146 (5.1%). The rest had a share of less than 5%.

Between 2006 and 2010, 8 (out of 16 TEIs) experienced a significant growth in their publication figures. Τhe TΕΙ of Kavala, ASPETE, and the TEIs of Kalamata, Patras, Larissa, Piraeus, Thessaloniki and the Ionian Islands, exceeded the average growth of the category (Figure 5.1.4).  However, the number of publications produced by "TEIs" was still relatively low and varied over time.
