Between 1995 and 1999, ISI indexed 34,580 papers that listed at least one author address in Denmark. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of ecology/environmental sciences. In that field, as the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper average for papers from Denmark exceeded the world average by 18% (3.28 citations per paper for Denmark, versus a world baseline of 2.79 citations per paper). The same was true for most of the fields shown above (the table includes only those fields in which authors in Denmark contributed at least 100 papers to the ISI database during the five-year period.) Although its comparative scores were lower in life-sciences fields such as immunology and molecular biology, Denmark displayed considerable citation strength in the physical sciences, notably in physics (+54%), chemistry (+38%), and engineering (+47%).
