In research, National Research Council stands highest in Physical Sciences (#3,918 of 10,670 worldwide) and Social Sciences (#6,629 of 9,585 worldwide), 2022-now. Relative to its size it is most specialised in Earth and Planetary Sciences (Earth and Planetary Sciences is 5.2× its share of world research).
Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where National Research Council 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).

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.
What does National Research Council specialise in?
Where its research is concentrated relative to its size: Earth and Planetary Sciences takes 5.2× the share of its output that it takes of world research.
