Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute 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 Mathematical Sciences Institute work in?

In 2022-now, 85% of research at Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute is in Physical Sciences, 6% in Social Sciences. Its largest fields are Mathematics (36%), Computer Science (15%), Physics and Astronomy (12%). It does 2.1× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
