Between 1999 and 2003, Thomson ISI indexed 112,035 papers that listed at least one author address in Spain. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of space science, followed by agricultural sciences and mathematics. Spain's relative impact in space science, as the right-hand column indicates, was 95% of the world average for the five-year period (in other words, just 5% below: 6.83 citations per paper for Spain versus the world mark of 7.18 cites). On the other hand, the impact of Spanish research was comparatively strong in agricultural sciences, materials science, plant & animal sciences, and especially in physics (19% above the world mark).
