Between 1998 and 2002, Thomson ISI indexed 285,097 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 general social sciences. As the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper score for economics papers from researchers in England happened to match the world average precisely (1.71 cites per paper), as was also the case in social sciences (1.65 cites). Overall, published research from England surpassed the world impact average in all but one of the fields shown, with notably strong performance in space science (38% above the world score), pharmacology (+47%),plant & animal sciences (+57%), and agricultural sciences (+48%).
