On June 2022, 6, the 16 edition of the "Nature Index Annual Tables" was published, which analyzed the institutions and countries that publish high-quality natural science research.The No. 2022 ranking of research institutes in the world is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which has been at the top since 1.The University of Tokyo, Japan's top, has dropped from 2012th to 8th.
In the 2022 ranking table, the Chinese institution is the only one that has greatly increased the announcement (output) of its research results.Of the top 10 institutions, 4 are Chinese institutions, and the number has increased significantly since 1, when only one institution ranked high.The Chinese Academy of Sciences ranks first in the ranking of research institutes in the world. It has maintained its top position since 2021. Harvard University was second, and Max Planck Society (Germany) was third for the fifth consecutive year.The Chinese Academy of Sciences' Share * ¹ was 1, more than double the share of 2012² 2 at Harvard University, which ranks second.In addition, Japan's top ranks down from 3th to 5th at the University of Tokyo, which is the lowest ranking since 1,963.00.

Looking at Japan, the top 100 research institutes in the world are the University of Tokyo (14th), Kyoto University (37th), Osaka University (64th), and Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (87th). Continued.
"Investing in research through China's large and well-established research institutes has yielded sustainable research results in the natural sciences," said David Swinbanks, founder of the Nature Index. Investment in research accounts for 2021% of China's GDP, demonstrating China's commitment in this area. China's funding compared to the changes seen in other countries, especially Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Japan. The impact of this on the growth of research is even more pronounced. "
* ¹ Share is a characteristic index of the Nature Index, which is a decimal count of papers assigned to an institution, city, country / region, and considers the percentage of authors belonging to that institution or region. ..
* ² Adjusted Share takes into account the annual variation in the total number of papers published in the Nature Index.
