What is University of the Sciences 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical SciencesDomain | #3,286 of 10,670 | 6.2% | 116 | #2782 |
Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where University of the Sciences 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 University of the Sciences work in?
In 2022-now, 44% of research at University of the Sciences is in Physical Sciences, 21% in Health Sciences. Its largest fields are Medicine (17%), Engineering (17%), Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (9%). It does 1.3× the world's share of Life Sciences.
Each ring splits the one inside it: the four domains of science, their fields, their subfields. Size is fractional works in 2022-now. Every slice is a page; the interactive view zooms down to single topics and colours each by how much more of it this institution does than the world.

How open and international is its research?
Against the world's own shares: the tick on each track. Both are shares of its output, so they sit on one scale and can be read against each other as well as against the world.
World: 40% of research is openly available.
World: 18% is written across borders.
How has University of the Sciences's research output changed?
Output in 2022-2025 was 39% lower than in 2018-2021.
The same series as a ribbon: one cell per year, darker for more. The line above answers how much; this answers when.
Its share of all research
Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is University of the Sciences as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.00071% in 2024.
Fractional works of University of the Sciences over all fractional works that year. How the balance of science has shifted.
How much of it reaches the world top 10%
Year by year, against all institutions in the same year.
Of each year's output, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for its field and year. Peak 12.4% in 2024.
