Between 2000 and 2004, Thomson Scientific indexed 89,976 papers that listed at least one author address in India. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified in the field of agricultural sciences. As the right-hand column shows, the relative impact of published research from India has yet to attain the world average in any of the fields shown. Nevertheless, there were areas of relatively strong performance--including physics, in which papers from India scored at 79% of the world average (2.89 citations per paper for India, versus the world figure of 3.64 cites), while India's research in computer science was just 18% below the world mark. Materials science, engineering, and chemistry were also areas of comparative strength.
