The Nature Index 2020 Annual Tables highlight the institutions and countries that dominated high quality research in the natural sciences in 2019 as tracked by Nature Index. The rankings are based on an institution’s or country’s share of articles published in prestigious scientific journals selected by an independent panel of experts and tracked by the Nature Index database.
