We analyzed the articles cited in 4 reviews on various aspects of Mediterranean marine and freshwater fishes. In total, these reviews used 498 published sources, from which less than 40% were in journals covered by Thomson ISI. The remaining sources were published either in local journals (23.5%) or in other media formats (e.g. theses, conference proceedings, technical reports). Thus, searching only the ISI's database produces a strongly biased picture of the scientific output of professionals studying Mediterranean ecosystems. This results in a devaluation of the scientific effort devoted to the Mediterranean Sea. Such a bias has ethical and science policy implications, arising from applying double standards. Thus, although the non-ISI publications and their citations are not used for the evaluation of countries, or institutions, the information included in these non-ISI articles is frequently used to develop and test scientific theories. In the new electronic era, it is untenable to use only traditional citation-search methods for any professional evaluation; new online options should be fully exploited for such purposes
