The article presents the evolution of chemical research in relation to the total scientific activity of these territories and of others in their proximity. The work is focused on the global scientific production cycle, as structured in four sections: entities, human resources involved, economic resources invested, and results obtained (in the form of articles, doctoral theses, and patents).
