What is Trinity University known for in research?
The fields where it stands highest, 2022-now, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.
| Field | World rank | Where that sits | Top-10% rate | Works | All time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Social SciencesDomain | #3,752 of 9,585 | 9.6% | 274 | #3433 | |

Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Trinity University 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).
