The Mystery of Esau and Ephraim

2023 tables: Institutions – natural sciences – academic

The 2023 tables are based on Nature Index data from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. Nature Index is generally based on output, whereas most other ranking are based on reputation and establishment.

Hence old established institutions, like Oxford, ranks highly in Times Higher Education  or QS University Rankings, but not in Nature Index Top 100 which is based on outputs, such as patents, publications and citations. Thus British institutions are relatively high in Times and OS rankings, but the country produces nothing worthy of mention in today’s tech race.
