How has Uzbekistan's research grown?
Output in 2022-2025 was 108% higher than in 2018-2021.
The same series as a ribbon: one cell per year, darker for more. The line above answers how much; this answers when.
Its share of all research
Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is Uzbekistan as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.18% in 2024.
Fractional works of Uzbekistan over all fractional works that year. How the balance of science has shifted.
How much of it reaches the world top 10%
Over the whole record, 5.5% of its 112k works since 1950 reached the world top 10% for their field and year.
Of each year's output, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for its field and year. Peak 8.2% in 2020.
