(theaustralian.com.au): THE publishing clout of scientists funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council is above the global average across all biomedical fields for the first time, according to a new citation analysis. In an independent study covering 2002-2006, the lagging field of neuroscience edged above the global average for the first time. It remains the weakest field, however. Biotechnology was the biggest improver, showing a 37 per cent increase in relative citation impact compared with its performance in the last study covering 1999-2003. Fields with the largest output of papers were medical and health sciences (9861) and clinical sciences (6330).
