Ohio State University According to Essential Science Indicators SM from Thomson Reuters, among the 4,103 top-performing institutions in all fields, Ohio State University ranked #45 for citations (518,006), #38 for papers (36,596), and #1,788 (14.15) for citations per paper.
The table below presents publication and citation data for Ohio State University in 21 main subject fields, covering papers published and cited between January 1999 and June 2009. The fields, which are determined by discrete groupings of specialty journals indexed by Thomson Reuters, are ranked here according to Ohio State’s collective citation count in each (the “cites” column), with figures also given for the university’s output of papers and its corresponding citations-per-paper count. The “average citation rates” column at the right provides a field-wide baseline figure, reflecting the average number of times a given paper was cited in each field during the ten-years-plus period.
