This doesn't measure impact of these scientific papers though, neglects US corporate and private research that doesn't get published and cited through the same means, and we have no measure of the relationship between publishing of scientific papers and "whatever we think that will accomplish". Also there's no information from that link on who is citing these papers. Maybe it's circular citations. Seems like a poor measure without further information.
