How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.

Its share of all research

Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is Engineering and Information Technology as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0035% in 2024.
