What is Planet known for in research?

The fields where it stands highest, over all time, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.

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

In 2022-now, 69% of research at Planet is in Physical Sciences, 15% in Social Sciences. Its largest fields are Physics and Astronomy (31%), Computer Science (10%), Environmental Science (10%). It does 1.7× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
