Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Wetlands International 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 Wetlands International work in?

In 2022-now, 63% of research at Wetlands International is in Physical Sciences, 15% in Social Sciences. Its largest fields are Environmental Science (48%), Medicine (11%), Agricultural and Biological Sciences (8%). It does 1.5× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
