TOKYO (PRWEB) May 07, 2018

Nature Index 2018 Japan highlights Japan’s most efficient institutions in the production of high quality scientific research. The index shows Rigaku among Japan’s leading institutions ranked by normalized weighted fractional count (WFC), an indicator of an institution’s high-quality research output as a proportion of total output in the natural sciences from 2012 to 2017. It is derived by dividing an institution’s WFC in the Nature Index by its total number of natural sciences articles in Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed scientific journals.
