Between 1998 and 2002, ISI indexed 37,609 papers that listed at least one author address in Denmark. Of those papers, Denmark's highest percentage is actually reflected in two fields, with an identical share (1.75%) of journals classified under the headings of microbiology and ecology/environmental sciences. In microbiology, as can be seen in the right-hand column, the citations-per-paper average for papers from Denmark exceeded the world average by 13% (7.39 cites per paper for Denmark, versus a world baseline of 6.52 citations per paper). The impact of papers from Denmark surpassed the world average in all but five of the fields shown above, with noteworthy scores in agricultural sciences (64% above the world mark), physics (+62%), chemistry (+51%), and engineering (+51%).
