THE NATURE INDEXThe Nature Index is a database of author affiliation information collated from research articles published in an independently selected group of high-quality science journals.
→ The Nature Index provides a close to real-time proxy for high-quality research output and collaboration at theinstitutional, national, regional and global level.
→ Academic institutions, policy-makers, research analysts, commercial organisations and the wider scientificcommunity use the Nature Index to identify trends in research output and collaboration. The Nature Index delivers a freely accessible and straightforward way to analyse output and collaboration in high-quality scientific research.
NATURE INDEX NEWSGain a clearer understanding of the latest news and issues affecting science and research today.Read the analysis and gain an insight into the latest scientific news from the Nature Index editorial team, guest columnists and those involved in the stories.
NATURE INDEX RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTSThe quality research published by our institutional partners is highlighted as easy-to-read accessible summaries that are featured on their enhanced institutional profile pages, and promoted on a variety of digital platforms.
THE NATURE INDEX DATABASE Compare and contrast the research output for over 52,000 international institutions, consortia and departments. Search at institution, country and article level to identify research and collaborations trends over the last 5 years.
The journals included in the Nature Index are selected by a panel of active scientists. The selection process reflects researchers’ perceptions of journal quality, rather than using quantitative measures such as Impact Factor. It is intended that the list of journals amounts to a reasonably consensual upper
echelon of journals in the natural sciences and includes both multidisciplinary journals and some of the most highly selective journals within the main disciplines of the natural sciences. The composition and total number of journals included in the Nature Index is reviewed on a regular basis.
THE NATURE INDEX JOURNALSNatureindex.com includes data from 375,000+ primary research articles from high quality science journals.

The Nature Index delivers a freely accessible and straightforward way to analyse high-quality scientific research output and
collaboration that complements the other metrics and evaluation tools available to the research community. By focusing on a relatively small number of journals that have been identified as high-quality by an independent group of practicing scientists from relevant disciplines, we aim to provide a targeted view of high-quality output for institutions,
policy-makers, research analysts, commercial organisations and the wider scientific community. With more than four years of data, Nature Index is becoming an increasingly powerful tool. It provides more than just a snapshot as the addition of each year’s data elucidates trends in research output and changing patterns of collaboration over time.
