What is DSM (Netherlands) known for in research?
The fields where it stands highest, 2022-now, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.
| Field | World rank | Where that sits | Top-10% rate | Works | All time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life SciencesDomain | #2,439 of 6,403 | 11.8% | 64 | #3845 |
Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where DSM (Netherlands) 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 DSM (Netherlands) work in?
In 2022-now, 33% of research at DSM (Netherlands) is in Life Sciences, 31% in Physical Sciences. Its largest fields are Agricultural and Biological Sciences (21%), Medicine (15%), Engineering (11%). It does 2.3× the world's share of Life 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 institution does than the world.
