Between 2001 and 2005, Thomson Scientific indexed 75,657 papers that listed at least one author address in Sweden. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of immunology. As the right-hand column indicates, the citations-per-paper (impact) mark for Swedish immunology papers was 23% below the 2001-05 world average for the field (8.17 cites per paper for Sweden, versus a world mark of 10.62 cites per paper). Meanwhile, on the table's next-highest rung, Sweden's relative impact in ecology/environmental surpassed the world average by 48%, a showing nearly as impressive as the nation's score in agricultural sciences (55% above). Performance was also strong in geosciences (+37%), pharmacology (+36%), and plant & animal sciences (+33%).
