The report scores each institute based on six indicators: output, international collaboration, normalized impact, high quality publications, specialization index and excellence rate.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe SIR World Report compiled its data by identifying and comparing all the institutions through a large number of scientific articles, reviews and conference papers contained in Scopus, the world’s largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and web sources with tools to track, analyze and visualize research.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe Salk Institute ranked fifth, globally in the category of high quality publications and excellence rate. The indicators are based on the ratio of publications published in the most influential scholarly journals in the world, and the percentage of publications of an institution that are among the top 10% of publications in a field.\n<\/p>\n
\n“This top global ranking is a testament to the exemplary science performed by some of the leading researchers in the world at the Salk,” said William R. Brody, Salk Institute President. “Salk scientists are extraordinary leaders in their field and the impact their work has on human health is the Salk legacy.”\n<\/p>\n
\nThis global ranking comes on the heels of another distinction given by Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators, which seeded the plant biology program at the Salk Institute number one in the world.\n<\/p>\n
