The data above were extracted from the
Essential Science IndicatorsSM database from
Clarivate.
This database, currently covering the period January 1999 through June
30, 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 Thomson
Reuters’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 Computer Sciences is by citations per
paper—among nations that collected 5,000 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 Computer Sciences, 79 nations are listed,
meaning 158 were surveyed. 27 nations collected at least 5,000
citations during the period. The average citation rate for field of
Computer Sciences is 3.14.
