Question 4

Where is Crystallography and molecular interactions research done?

Accepted Answer

The largest centres of Crystallography and molecular interactions research in 2022-now are Beijing (China), Moscow (Russia), Tokyo (Japan) and Shanghai (China). Among places with at least 20 works in it, it is an unusually large share of all research in Palma.

Question 5

Where is the best place to study Crystallography and molecular interactions?

Accepted Answer

Among universities, judged by research, Universitat de les Illes Balears, Tianjin University and Jilin University score highest, combining excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.

Accepted Answer

Output in 2022-2025 was 9% lower than in 2018-2021, peaking in 2011.

Question 7

What are the most cited papers in Crystallography and molecular interactions?

Accepted Answer

The most cited paper in Crystallography and molecular interactions is "A consistent and accurate ab initio parametrization of density functional dispersion correction (DFT-D) for the 94 elements H-Pu" (Stefan Grimme, Jens Antony, Stephan Ehrlich et al., 2010), with 59,482 citations. Next come "Multiwfn: A multifunctional wavefunction analyzer" (45,639) and "Crystal structure refinement with SHELXL" (43,688).
