Each point is this institution's position that year among national labs & research facilities in South America, by papers, with credit split across co-authoring institutions. #1 is at the top. Hover a point for the figures. The hollow point is the year in progress.

Where it works most top research communities, by papers

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 European Southern Observatory publishes. Institutions come from OpenAlex affiliations, rolled up to the parent organisation. Older papers often lack affiliations, so earlier years undercount.
