Between 2000 and 2004, Thomson Scientific indexed 97,135 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 economics & business. 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 40% during the five-year period (9.87 cites per paper for the Netherlands, versus a world baseline of 7.05 cites). In all but two of the fields shown above, the citations-per-paper average for research from the Netherlands surpassed the world average, with particularly strong performance in agricultural sciences (62% above the world mark), physics (49% above), materials science (+47%), chemistry (+45%), clinical medicine (+39%), and plant & animal sciences (+39%).
