The Nature Index

The Nature Index is a metric that measures the research output of universities and research institutions by tracking the number of high-quality scientific articles they publish in selected leading journals. It provides an annual snapshot of how actively and effectively institutions contribute to advanced scientific discoveries, especially in fields like physics, chemistry, and life sciences. The Index helps compare institutions’ research performance worldwide, highlighting those making significant contributions to global scientific progress. It is based purely on publication data and aims to reflect the research strength and innovation capacity of organizations.
