Research Collaboration Index

Subject collaboration · 2026

26 subject indices. One method.

Beyond the four broad research areas, the index is computed for every individual subject with enough data to rank at least 50 universities. Each field is scored on its own worldwide co-authorship network, so the leader in Medicine is a genuine global comparison, not a separate table.
