Research trend share of all papers we track, per year

Each point is this institution's share of the papers credited to all institutions that year, with credit split across co-authoring institutions. A share, not a count, because our collection grows unevenly by year. Hover a point for the figures. The hollow point is the year in progress.

Check communities to show the trend above for them only. Positions are by fractional papers across all years. A community page ranks its institutions by citation-weighted credit, so its order can differ.

Covers the materials and chemistry research Elements Live tracks, not everything Central South University publishes. Institutions come from OpenAlex affiliations, rolled up to the parent organisation. Older papers often lack affiliations, so earlier years undercount.
