Between 1998 and 2002, ISI indexed 24,095 papers that listed at least one author address in Norway. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of geosciences, followed by ecology/environmental sciences and plant& animal sciences. In all three of those fields, as the right-hand column indicates, Norway's citations-per-paper average, or impact, surpassed the world average. (In geosciences, for example, the impact of papers from Norway was 5% above the world mark--3.51 cites for Norway versus an average of 3.34 cites for the world.) In addition to its high score in ecology/environmental (41% above the world mark), Norway posted notably high scores in clinical medicine (+22%) and mathematics (+32%). In an unusual coincidence, the impact of Norwegian papers happened to match the world mark in three of the fields shown here: social sciences (1.65 cites per paper), neurosciences (7.47 cites), and space science (7.69).
