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

In 2022-now, 76% of research at The Core Institute is in Health Sciences, 12% in Physical Sciences. Its largest fields are Medicine (74%), Engineering (5%), Computer Science (4%). It does 2.8× the world's share of Health Sciences.
