Science in Poland, 2001-05

Poland's world share of science and social-science papers over a recent five-year period, expressed as a percentage of papers in each of 20 fields in the Thomson Scientific database. Also, Poland's relative citation impact compared to the world average in each field, in percentage terms.

Between 2001 and 2005, Thomson Scientific indexed 56,879 papers that listed at least one author address in Poland. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals categorized under the heading of physics. As the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper (impact) average for physics papers from Poland during 2001-05 was just 9% below the world impact figure in that field (3.54 citations per paper for Poland, versus a world mark of 3.79 cites per paper). In space science, on the other hand, research from Poland exceeded the world average by 9%. The impact of Poland-based researchers was also comparatively strong in engineering (3% below the world mark), computer science (-7%), and clinical medicine (-9%).
