Between 1998 and 2002, ISI indexed 92,220 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 space science, followed by immunology. In space science, as the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper average (or impact) of papers from the Netherlands exceeded the world average in the field by 42% during the five-year period (10.97 cites per paper for the Netherlands, versus a world baseline of 7.72 cites). In all but three of the fields shown above, the citations-per-paper average for research from the Netherlands surpassed the world average, with particularly strong performance in clinical medicine (41% above the world mark), plant & animal sciences (+52%), chemistry (+49), and especially agricultural sciences (+74%).
