Between 1995 and 1999, ISI indexed 87,792 papers that listed at least one author address in the Netherlands. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of astrophysics, followed by immunology. In astrophysics, as the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper average (or impact) for papers from the Netherlands exceeded the world average for the field by 42% during the five-year period (8.83 cites per paper for the Netherlands, versus an average of 6.24 cites for the world). In most of the fields shown above, the Netherlands' citations-per-paper average for research exceeded the world
average—even in fields in which the representation of papers from the Netherlands was below the nation's 2.56% overall share of the database.
