Universities only. The score blends citation 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 Medicinal Plant Pharmacodynamics Research, country by countryIs Medicinal Plant Pharmacodynamics Research research growing?
Output in 2022-2025 was 7% lower than in 2018-2021, peaking in 2011.
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 Medicinal Plant Pharmacodynamics Research as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0042% in 2024.
Fractional works of Medicinal Plant Pharmacodynamics Research 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.
