Science in Sweden, 1999-2003

Sweden's world share of science and social-science papers over a recent five-year period, expressed as a percentage of papers in each of 21 fields in the Thomson ISI database. Also, Sweden's relative citation impact compared to the world average in each field, expressed as a percentage.
See the 10-year Country Rankings for SWEDEN.

Between 1999 and 2003, Thomson ISI indexed 75,811 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 indicates, the citations-per-paper (impact) mark for Swedish immunology papers was 28% below the 1999-2003 world average for the field (7.81 cites per paper for Sweden, versus a world mark of 10.83 cites per paper). In all but five of the fields shown above, however, researchers in Sweden exceeded the world impact figure, notably in ecology/environmental (60% above the world mark), pharmacology (34% above), plant & animal sciences (+34%), engineering (+30%), and agricultural sciences (+41%).
