Between 1998 and 2002, Thomson ISI indexed 63,452 papers that listed at least one author address in South Korea. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals indexed in the category of materials science. Materials research, in fact, as the right-hand column shows, is also one of the the fields in which South Korea's citations-per-paper average compared most favorably with the world average (1.81 cites per paper for South Korea, versus the world figure of 2.09 cites; the nation achieved the same relative-impact mark, just 13% below the world average, in agricultural sciences). South Korea also made comparatively strong showings in economics & business, plant & animal sciences, and mathematics.
