Between 2003 and 2007, Clarivate Analytics indexed 51,151 papers that listed at least one author address in Israel. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals categorized under the heading of mathematics. As the right-hand column indicates, the impact (average citations per paper) of mathematics papers from Israel was 1% above the average in the field during the five-year period (1.46 cites per paper for Israel versus a world average of 1.44 citations). In the next field listed, computer science, Israel's cites-per-paper average exceeded the world mark by 43%. In most of the other fields shown, Israel's relative-impact performance was strong, notably in space science (51% above the world mark), physics (48% above), agricultural sciences (+40%) and materials science (+50%). In education, the impact of Israel-based researchers happened to match the world mark precisely: 1.20 cites per paper.
