When the ranking of domestic research institutes was summarized from the papers that had a great influence on the subsequent research because the number of citations of Clarivate Analytics, an international information company, was high, the top was the University of Tokyo.Japan's international ranking was 12th, the same as the previous year.
The research analysis divided the entire science into 22 fields, and defined the papers with the highest number of citations in each field as high-cited papers, and based on the total number, the rankings of domestic research institutes and the rankings by country in the world were released. ..The survey period is 1 years from 2008 to 2018.
According to it, the top of the ranking of domestic research institutes is the University of Tokyo, which had 1,474 highly cited papers.This is followed by Kyoto University, RIKEN, Osaka University, and Tohoku University.The top 20 include 14 universities and 6 R & D corporations.Keio University and Waseda University are ranked among private universities.
The ratio of highly cited papers to the total number of published papers is 0.87% on average in Japan, but it exceeds 2% at RIKEN, National Institute for Materials Science, National Cancer Center, and High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, affecting subsequent research. The ratio of papers given is high.
Japan's international ranking has not changed from the previous year, but by field, molecular biology and genetics have fallen out of the range from the top 10, and the top 10 is chemistry, which is the 5th in the world, and physics, which is the 6th. Stayed in the field.
