Danish research is some of the most cited work within the OECD and almost 19% of all Danish publications are among the 10% most cited publications, which is the second highest level among the OECD-countries, according to the 2018 publication from the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science (in danish).
The publication shows that Danish research tops the lists when it comes to measurements on bibliometric indicators, such as numbers of publications and citations. Moreover, Danish research is widely funded and Denmark has throughout the years received close to 800 million euro from the biggest research and innovation program in EU, Horizon 2020, equivalent to about 2.5% of the total budget in Horizon 2020.
