 | | 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 ISI database. |
 | | In materials, as the right-hand column shows, the citations-per-paper average, or impact, of papers from India was 37% below the world average in the field (1.24 cites per paper for India, versus a world baseline of 1.97 cites). |
 | | Although India has not yet equaled the world average in any of the subject fields shown, there were fields, in addition to materials science, that proved to be areas of relative strength, including physics, mathematics, and computer science. |
