Between 2001 and 2005, Thomson Scientific indexed 124,097 papers that listed at least one author address in Spain. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of space science, followed by agricultural sciences and mathematics. Spain's relative impact in space science, as the right-hand column indicates, was 99% of the world average for the five-year period (in other words, just 1% below: 7.42 citations per paper for Spain versus the world mark of 7.50 cites). Meanwhile, the impact of Spanish research exceeded the world average in agricultural sciences (6% above the world average), chemistry (2% above), materials science (+3%), engineering (+4%), clinical medicine (+4%) and, notably, physics (+20%).
