Between 2001 and 2005, Thomson Scientific indexed 49,025 papers that listed at least one author address in Israel. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals categorized under the heading of mathematics. As the right-hand column indicates, the impact (average citations per paper) of mathematics papers from Israel was 9% above the average in the field during the five-year period (1.44 cites per paper for Israel versus a world average of 1.32 citations). In the next field listed, computer science, Israel's cites-per-paper average exceeded the world mark by 45%. In all of the physical sciences shown, in fact, research from Israel surpassed the world impact average, notably in physics (32% above), space science (+41%), and materials science (+57%).
