Between 1998 and 2002, Thomson ISI indexed 106,115 papers that listed at least one author address in Spain. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of space science, followed by agricultural sciences and mathematics. Spain's relative impact in space science, as the right-hand column indicates, was 6% below the world average for the five-year period (7.26 citations per paper for Spain versus the world mark of 7.72 cites). Fields in which Spain surpassed the world impact score were agricultural sciences (8% above the world mark), chemistry (1% above), physics (+17%), and engineering (+2%).
