Brazil as well, although a country that often appears in the national rankings, achieves a particularly good result in this field. This is complemented by a strong showing in global talent, with a very high rate of talent retention.

Malaysia does unusually well in the national rankings, coming in at around the same position as Australia. Similarly, from a workforce perspective, Malaysia is comparable to Australia in its share of global talent, particularly in the employment stage where a slight loss for Australia and a slight gain for Malaysia leave them at a very similar level.

Biological manufacturing appears to be quite a contested technology with no clear global leader. From a pure research output perspective, the United States (US) and China clearly lead, but who exactly is first depends on the metric used to assess quality. On judgement, it is likely that China is slightly ahead in this respect, but not by a huge margin. India, coming in at third place in the national rankings, hosts the field-leading Indian Institute of Technology.

Institutions ranked by H-index

The H-index (Hirsch index) is an established performance metric used for analysing the impact of scholarly output and is calculated from citation numbers of an individual’s set of publications. It’s a combined measure of quantity and impact and performs better than other single-number summaries of research quality.

What is a H-index?

Insititutions with publications in top 10%

One way we can draw an understanding of global movements of human talent is to better understand our institutions, how do they perform in a particular technology? What programs or facilities do they have? How are they cultivating international attraction and opportunity?

What influences the flow of talent globally? 
[Our institutions.]

This toggles the data between the top 10% and the top 25% of highly cited papers.

Sankey filter

This chart tracks the career trajectories of authors within the highly cited papers, where they did their undergraduate and postgraduate training and the host country of their institution predominantly at the time of publication.

Countries ranked by highest H-index

Proportion of publications in top 10%

We use the weighted citations of the country’s publications (product of their relative contributions and the paper’s citations number) to calculate two quality metrics (a) their H-index and (b) their top 10% of most highly cited papers.

Who produces the *best quality* research? 
[Within Biological manufacturing]

This toggles between quantity and quality treemaps for different countries.

Quantity versus quality

Below is a break down of the published research within the field of Biological manufacturing. Here you can form an understanding of who is contributing the highest volume of research to the field, and filter to view how much of that research is considered to be high quality (in the top 10%).

Who produces *the most* research? 
[Within Biological manufacturing]

Biological manufacturing research

This is a treemap where the area for each country represents the weighted fraction of papers (quantity) and the weighted fraction of papers in the top 10% of highly cited papers (quality) in Biological manufacturing. Please use the toggle between quantity and quality to see the difference in proportional distribution between these two metrics.
