Between 2001 and 2005, Thomson Scientific indexed 49,158 papers that
listed at least one author address in Turkey. Of those papers, the
highest percentage appeared in journals categorized under the heading of
clinical medicine, followed by agricultural sciences. As the right-hand
column shows, the citations-per-paper (impact) average for
clinical-medicine papers from Turkey during 2001-05 was at 33% of the
world average (or 67% below--1.77 cites per paper for Turkey versus the
world mark of 5.40 cites). On the other hand, the nation's
relative-impact scores were comparatively strong in engineering,
geosciences, and mathematics.
