Between 2002 and 2006, Thomson Scientific indexed 76,457 papers that
listed at least one author address in Switzerland. Of those papers, the
highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of
immunology. As the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper
average for immunology research from Switzerland surpassed the world
average by 26% (13.41 citations per paper for Switzerland, versus 10.62
for the world). In all but two of the other fields shown, the impact of
Swiss research exceeded the world average, with especially noteworthy
performance in physics (80% above the world mark), engineering (58%
above) pharmacology (+57%), and agricultural sciences (+56%).
