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

In 2022-now, 32% of research at Philippine Medical Association is in Health Sciences, 31% in Physical Sciences. Its largest fields are Medicine (25%), Social Sciences (15%), Environmental Science (9%). It does 1.3× the world's share of Health Sciences.
