47Between 1997 and 2001, ISI indexed 281,991 papers that each listed at least one author address in England. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of economics & business, followed closely by education, space science, and social sciences. As the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper score for economics papers
from researchers in England was just 1% below the world average in (1.64 citations per paper for England, versus a world baseline of 1.66 citations). Overall, published research from England surpassed the world impact average in all but three of the fields shown, with notably strong performance in space science, pharmacology, plant & animal sciences, and agricultural sciences.
