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.

What are the most cited papers from Virgo?

The most cited paper from Virgo is "Volume I. Introduction to DUNE" (B. Abi et al., 2020), with 421 citations. Next come "Volume IV.
