A no show appointment allowed me to do some searching on Science Direct
All medicine, dentistry, nursing and health care sources, all
publications later than 2004
SPSS : 68k hits
SAS : 49k hits
Stata : 13k hits
Statview : 4k
Statistica : 4k
JMP : 2k
The Lancet, all articles (Science Direct is hard to limit to a
specific journal and specific time period at once)
SPSS : 478 hits
SAS : 820 hits
Stata : 477 hits
Statview : 42
Statistica : 86
JMP : 45
The trouble is that R is an impossible term to search for, and I gave
up trying to find some form of words that would isolate papers that
plausibly used R for their statistics.
And now my no-show is knocking at the door. Drat.
