Friends: Here is a table provided by Thomson Scientific - ISI, Philadelphia. Our share in new biology research [Molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, etc.] is rather low and below India's 2.3% share in science overall. What is more our work in these fields is cited less often on average than our work in physics, chemistry and materials science. India's share in agriculture, materials science and chemistry is well above India's share in science overall. Arun Science in India, 2000-04 India'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, India's relative citation impact compared to the world average in each field, in percentage terms. 10-year country rankings for India, 1995-October 2005. Field Percentage of papers from India, 2000-04 Relative impact compared to world Agricultural Sciences 5.30 -65 Materials Science 4.79 -29 Chemistry 4.23 -38 Physics 3.45 -21 Plant & Animal Sciences 3.39 -70 Pharmacology 2.83 -57 Engineering 2.63 -35 Geosciences 2.53 -50 Space Science 2.43 -51 **<--- India's overall percent share, all fields: 2.39 --->** Ecology/Environmental 2.29 -58 Microbiology 1.88 -53 Biology & Biochemistry 1.85 -63 Mathematics 1.83 -44 Computer Science 1.46 -18 Clinical Medicine 1.02 -60 Molecular Biology 1.00 -68 Immunology 0.93 -68 Economics & Business 0.74 -48 Social Sciences 0.71 -60 Neurosciences 0.50 -49 Psychology/Psychiatry 0.30 -35 Between 2000 and 2004, Thomson Scientific indexed 89,976 papers that listed at least one author address in India. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals classified in the field of agricultural sciences. As the right-hand column shows, the relative impact of published research from India has yet to attain the world average in any of the fields shown. Nevertheless, there were areas of relatively strong performance--including physics, in which papers from India scored at 79% of the world average (2.89 citations per paper for India, versus the world figure of 3.64 cites), while India's research in computer science was just 18% below the world mark. Materials science, engineering, and chemistry were also areas of comparative strength.
