Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Eureka Scientific 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 Eureka Scientific work in?

In 2022-now, 94% of research at Eureka Scientific is in Physical Sciences, 3% in Life Sciences. Its largest fields are Physics and Astronomy (71%), Environmental Science (9%), Earth and Planetary Sciences (7%). It does 2.2× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
