This month from ScienceWatch.com, we have
listed our ranking in Molecular Biology &
Genetics by citations per paper—among
countries that collected 10,000 or more citations
during the period—to reveal weighted impact.

The data above were extracted from the
Essential Science IndicatorsSM database from
Clarivate.
This database, currently covering the period January 1999 through
February 28, 2009, surveys only journal articles (original research
reports and review articles) indexed by Clarivate. Articles are
assigned to a category based on the journals in which they were
published and Clarivate’s journal-to-category field
definition scheme. Both articles tabulated and citation counts to those
articles are for the period indicated.
Here our ranking in Molecular Biology & Genetics is by citations
per paper—among nations that collected 10,000 or more citations
during the period—to reveal weighted impact. For articles with
multiple authors from different nations, each nation receives full, not
fractional, citation credit. Essential Science Indicators
lists nations ranked in the top 50% for a field over a given period,
based on total citations. In Molecular Biology & Genetics, 89
nations are listed, meaning 178 were surveyed. 37 nations collected at
least 10,000 citations during the period. The average citation rate for
Molecular Biology & Genetics across all fields is 23.58.
