Between 2006 and 2010, Clarivate indexed 298,286 papers that listed at least one author address in France. Of those papers, the highest percentage appeared in journals indexed under the main heading of space science, with mathematics a distant second. As the right-hand column shows, the impact (cites per paper) mark for space-science papers featuring France-based authors was 24% above the world average for the field (9.76 cites per paper for France versus the world mark of 7.88 cites). France’s relative-impact performance was also strong in plant & animal science (48% above the world average), geosciences (37% above), and physics and agricultural sciences (both +30%).
