Between 1996 and 2000, ISI indexed 31,077 papers that listed at least one author address in Austria. Of these papers, the largest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of immunology. As the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper average for immunology papers from Austria during the five-year period was 12% below the world average (7.41 cites per paper for Austria versus a world baseline of 8.43 cites). On the other hand, Austrian papers surpassed the world mark in several other fields, including physics (26% above the world average), mathematics (20% above), pharmacology (+15%), materials science (+10%), and engineering (+10%). In microbiology, the impact of research from Austria happened to match the world mark precisely: 6.15 cites per paper.
