Between 1998 and 2002, Thomson ISI indexed 73,644 papers that listed at least one author address in Sweden. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under immunology. As the right-hand column indicates, the citations-per-paper (impact) mark for Swedish immunology papers was 26% below the 1998-2002 world average for the field (7.40 cites per paper for Sweden, versus a world mark of 9.98 cites per paper). In the majority of fields shown above, however, researchers in Sweden exceeded the world impact figure, notably in ecology/environmental (38% above the world mark), pharmacology (30% above), plant & animal sciences (+32%), engineering (+25%), chemistry (+27%), and agricultural sciences (+37%).
