This ranks research output and citation impact. It says nothing about the quality of diagnosis, treatment or care.
Which countries lead Food Science and Nutritional Studies research?
By volume, India and Indonesia publish the most (1.1k and 210 works in 2022–2025).
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.
