Universities only. The score blends excellence (40%), size (30%), specialisation (10%), growth (10%), international reach (10%), 2022-now; growth compares 2018-21 with 2022-25 and counts up to +20%, since a jump from a small base is mostly noise.
Every institution in Environmental Chemistry and Analysis, country by countryIs Environmental Chemistry and Analysis research growing?
Output in 2022-2025 was 20% higher than in 2018-2021, peaking in 2025. The fastest-growing topics are Environmental Chemistry and Analysis.
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 Environmental Chemistry and Analysis as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0065% in 2024.
Fractional works of Environmental Chemistry and Analysis 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.
Of each year's works in it, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for their field and year. A field is the world for its own topics, so there is no other line to hold it against.
Which topics inside it are moving
Growth and decline on one axis around a shared zero. Two lists side by side hide the thing that matters: whether the growth dwarfs the decline, or the other way round.
