Each article or each one article or something else?
I am writing a report and I want to say that "sixteen articles were from Canada, one article was from England, one was from Ghana, one was from Sweden, one was from Lebanon and one was from Pakistan." But, I think the sentence is really redundant or clumsy. Could I say ""sixteen articles were from Canada, (each) one article was from England, Ghana, Sweden, Lebanon and Pakistan". or what else do you recommend?

Question

Answer

Sixteen from Canada, and one each from Ghana, England, Sweden etc.

Also if the numbers from each were different, you could abbreviate the list as: sixteen from Canada, four from Rumania, two from Hungary, and one each from Bermuda, Sri Lanka and Surinam.

Answer

Thank you very much. That sounds much better. ^^

Answer

i would say
Of the twenty-one articles (received/used/cited) sixteen were from Canada, the remaining five were from England, Ghana, Sweden, Lebanon and Pakistan. 
 Hope this helps
