The Nature Index tracks the affiliations of universities and research article contributions in a selected group of 145 high-profile scientific journals chosen by an independent panel of expert research scientists in different fields. Ranking criteria involve counting the number of published research articles by institutions in renowned publishing groups. The Nature Index provides absolute count and fractional share counts of article publications at the institutional and national levels and, as such, is an indicator of global high-quality research output and collaborations. Each year, Nature Index ranks the leading institutions, which can be companies, universities, government agencies, research institutes, NGOs, and countries, by the number of scientific articles and papers published in leading journals.
