11. Some countries changed their name through the political fluctuation in 1989-1990; Germany was reunified in 1990, thus, for the sake of continuity in analysis of data, “Germany” was selected as a keyword for “West Germany” after 1990. On the other hand, the U.S.S.R. was split into more than ten nations in 1991, thus “Russia” was selected for the “U.S.S.R.” after 1991.
