publications since 2021

The institution h-index is computed as for a person, on the distinct papers with at least one author of the field from this institution: 63 papers with at least 63 citations each. It grows with the number of people and years: read it next to the staff size, not to compare institutions of different size.

How this institution collaborates

35%
papers signed with a colleague from the same institution
31%
papers signed with another institution of the field
62%
author signatures not belonging to this institution

Out of 913 papers. The three shares do not add up to one hundred: a paper can answer yes to more than one question. They describe how people work, not how well: a very cohesive institution and a very open one are two different ways of doing research, not one better than the other.

research-unit shares

Amounts are the shares of the individual research units, not project totals: when several people of the field take part in the same PRIN, adding up the whole project would count the same funding more than once. Calls covered: 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2022 PNRR (PRIN database of the Italian Ministry of University and Research).

    Relative specialisation

    How much a topic weighs here compared with the whole field: above 1 there is specialisation, below 1 the topic is less present than average. The grey tick marks parity. Topics with fewer than three papers are excluded, where the ratio would say little.
