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

In 2022-now, 46% of research at KRI is in Physical Sciences, 30% in Social Sciences. Its largest fields are Engineering (17%), Computer Science (15%), Social Sciences (10%).
