The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 31.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.14% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.71% of all publications and 25.71% were from other institutions.
