Between 2000 and 2004, Thomson Scientific indexed 39,300 papers that listed at least one author address in
Denmark. Of those papers, Denmark's highest percentage appeared in journals classified in two fields, with equal
shares recorded in microbiology along with biology & biochemistry. 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% (7.44 cites
per paper for Denmark, versus a world baseline of 6.60 citations). The impact of papers from Denmark surpassed
the world average in all but three of the fields shown above, with noteworthy relative-impact scores recorded in
agricultural sciences (61% above the world mark), physics (+63%), chemistry (+53%), and engineering (+59%).
