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. 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 Biology & Biochemistry, 99 nations are
listed, meaning 198 were surveyed. The average citation rate for field
of Biology & Biochemistry is 16.67.
