Abstract: Abstract This article aims to study the effect of the current financial crisis (2010–2017) on biomedical productivity and impact of Greece-affiliated investigators. PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched for articles published in biomedical journals with at least one Greek affiliation during the period 1995–2016 (date of last search October 19, 2017). The impact of Greek articles was the citations received by published articles during the first 2 years following the year of publication adjusted to the number of Greek and global articles. A discrepancy in the absolute article productivity between the databases was observed: a mean annual increase before the crisis was observed in all databases, while after the crisis the increase persisted in PubMed, in Scopus a decline was observed and in the Web of Science a smaller increase was observed. The changes in relative productivity were similar for both study periods in all databases (increasing before and decreasing after crisis, p
