Not ranked overall: Schmidt Ocean Institute is under the volume floor below which an excellence rate is noise. Not ranked is not the same as ranked last.

What does Schmidt Ocean Institute specialise in?

Where its research is concentrated relative to its size: Physical Sciences takes 2.2× the share of its output that it takes of world research.

Location quotient, a volume reading rather than an impact one. It surfaces small, lopsided specialities.

Field profile

Location quotient across every field it publishes in: outside the ring is more than an institution of this size would be expected to publish, inside it is less.

    Which keywords describe research at Schmidt Ocean Institute?

    By fractional works in all years, weighted toward what it does more of than the world: Solar System Abundances, Terrestrial Planets, Stable Isotopes, Trophic Position, Mars, Martian Surface, On-Orbit Performance and Radiometric Calibration.
