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 Clinical Medicine, 107 nations are listed,
meaning 214 were surveyed. The average citation rate for field of
Clinical Medicine is 12.36.
