Between 1995 and 1999, ISI indexed 69,077 papers that listed at least one author address in Sweden. 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 (or impact) mark for Swedish immunology papers was 30% below the 1994-98 world average for the field (5.88 cites per paper for Sweden, versus a world score 8.46 cites per paper). On the other hand, researchers in Sweden exceeded the world impact average in many of the fields listed above, notably in engineering (39% above the world impact mark), pharmacology (32% above), chemistry (+32%), and agricultural sciences (+31%). In geosciences, the impact of Swedish research happened to match the world mark precisely: 3.22 cites per paper.
