Nature Index of 2024 institution rankings shows total dominance by Chinese Institutions with every single institution listed in the top 30 positions being located in China.

This indicates a massive concentration of high-impact applied science research output coming from Chinese universities and academies in 2024.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences holds the top spot by a significant margin, nearly 2.5x higher than the second-place institution.

Applied Sciences: Institution Rankings (2024 data)

The table displays the top 30 institutions globally for research output in the field of Applied Sciences. The ranking is primarily ordered by "Share" (a metric indicating fractional contribution to articles), alongside the total "Count" of articles.

* The Top 5: Following CAS, the top institutions are:
2. Zhejiang University (ZJU)
3. Tsinghua University
4. Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU)
5. Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU)

* Metric Range: The "Share" score drops from 1425.84 at rank 1 down to 201.79 at rank 30 (Hunan University), illustrating the heavy skew toward the top-ranked academy. — Applied Sciences: Institution Rankings (2024 data) The table displays the top 30 institutions globally for research output in the field of Applied Sciences.

@yogthos Hm. Am I wrong or does the figures only measure "research output" by numbers of publication? A nice metric would be quality of publication for instance accepted peer reviewed publication at tier one conferences. Here I expect chinese research less dominat although that might change in the upcoming decade.
