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

In 2022-now, 88% of research at Swedish Geotechnical Institute is in Physical Sciences, 9% in Social Sciences. Its largest fields are Environmental Science (39%), Engineering (34%), Earth and Planetary Sciences (11%). It does 2.0× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
