A guide to the Nature Index
Briefly

The Nature Index is a critical resource for tracking institutional contributions to high-quality natural and health science research, reflecting collaboration and output. It employs two primary metrics: Count, which allocates one point for each article with an author from a specific institution or country, and Share, a fractional representation of authorship that accounts for multiple authors. This allows for nuanced insights into the contributions of various institutions and regions. Regular updates make the data relevant, facilitating comparative analysis in research performance worldwide.
The Nature Index serves as a robust database, providing insights into global high-quality research output and collaboration by tracking contributions to prominent journals.
Count and Share metrics ensure accurate representations of research contributions, assigning a Count of 1 for each article and fractional Shares based on author affiliation.
