A city carries no overall standing here. The quality score is built for institutions and countries, the units its floors and field normalisation were designed around. An empty rank on this page is a statement about the measure, not about the place.
Which research institutions are in Beijing?
By fractional works over the whole record; world rank on research quality in 2022-now. Bars are scaled to the largest institution in this city, not to anything off the page.
How concentrated the city is
The same institutions as shares of everything the list accounts for. A city that is one university and a city that is twelve read alike as a table and not at all alike here.
Shares of the rows listed above, not of the whole node.
Which fields of science does Beijing work in?
In 2022-now, 65% of research in Beijing is in Physical Sciences, 13% in Health Sciences. Its largest fields are Engineering (29%), Medicine (12%), Computer Science (11%). It does 1.7× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
Each ring splits the one inside it: the four domains of science, their fields, their subfields. Size is fractional works in 2022-now. Every slice is a page; the interactive view zooms down to single topics and colours each by how much more of it this city does than the world.

Location quotient against the world baseline. Inside a single field a city is a meaningful unit, which is why this is where a city is measured at all.
The whole field profile
All 26 fields at once: above the ring is more than a place this size would be expected to do. A specialist and a generalist produce the same ranked list and a completely different shape.
Rings at 0.5×, 1× and 2×. Widest outward: Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2.3×. Every wedge is a field page.
