Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Australian Dental Association 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 fields of science does Australian Dental Association work in?

In 2022-now, 70% of research at Australian Dental Association is in Health Sciences, 19% in Social Sciences. Its largest fields are Dentistry (28%), Medicine (21%), Health Professions (20%). It does 2.4× the world's share of Health Sciences.
