Yes, the relative weight of each discipline in the category of refereed
journal articles was as follows:

Theology 0 %
The Humanities 5 %
Art and Design 0 %
Music 0 %
Theatre and Dance 0 %
Education 3 %
Sport Sciences 0 %
Social Sciences 5 %
Psychology 2 %
Health Sciences 2 %

Medicine 31 %

The total output in 2005 was 24847 items, of which 7642 items (31 %) were
published domestically. Total output includes refereed articles, articles in
compiled works or in printed conference publications, monographs (theses and
dissertations excluded), and articles in universities' own serials
(departmental serials excluded).
