In research, At Bristol stands highest in Health Sciences (#1,205 of 9,902 worldwide), Physical Sciences (#1,396 of 10,670 worldwide) and Medicine (#1,215 of 8,541 worldwide), 2022-now.
Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where At Bristol sits in it, in the colour
of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average
differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).
Which of those standings moved
The same fields on both windows: where it stood over the whole record, and where it stands in 2022-now. The distance is the story, and it is the one thing the two rank columns above cannot show.
A dot further right is a better standing. Fields it was not ranked in over the whole record are left out.

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 institution does than the world.
Location quotient across every field it publishes in: outside the ring is more than an institution of this size would be expected to publish, inside it is less.
