Science in Denmark, 2002-06

Denmark'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 Scientific database. Also, Denmark's relative citation impact compared to the world average in each field, in percentage terms.

Between 2002 and 2006, Thomson Scientific indexed 41,660 papers that listed at least one author address in Denmark. Of those papers, Denmark's highest percentage appeared in journals classified under the heading of biology & biochemistry. In that field, as the right-hand column indicates, the citations-per-paper average for papers from Denmark exceeded the world average by 15% (8.73 cites per paper for Denmark, versus a world baseline of 7.56 citations). Farther down the list, the nation's relative-impact performance was also notably strong in agricultural sciences (57% above the world mark), physics (60% above), engineering (+55%), and materials science (+52%).
