In this year\u2019s ranking, including the articles published from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020, the University of Silesia in Katowice took the sixth place among research institutions in Poland (and fifth among the Polish universities). Thus, the University\u2019s position is higher when compared to last year\u2019s ranking, based on the publications from 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Nature Index provides knowledge about the scientific publications presenting the most up-to-date research results in the field of exact and natural sciences. The rankings cover not only the publication of results of top quality research conducted by scientists around the world, but also cooperation undertaken by academic staff at the regional, domestic and institutional level.<\/p>\n<p>The ranking is based on the data collected from 82 most important scientific journals in the world, such as \u2018Nature\u2019, \u2018Science\u2019 and \u2018Physical Review A\u2019. It takes into consideration the number of articles published in selected journals prepared by scientists representing specific research institutions. For the purpose of the ranking, <em>fractional count <\/em>(FC) index was developed, which allows to include e.g. the number of institutions represented jointly by all co-authors of a particular article.<\/p>\n<p>According to FC index, the University of Silesia was ranked sixth among Polish research centres thanks to the publishing activity of scientists associated with the University in the field of physical sciences, chemical sciences, earth sciences, environmental sciences and biological sciences.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/pliki\/lista_publikacji_US_nature_index_1.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" data-mtli=\"mtli_filesize113MB\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\" data-mtli=\"mtli_filesize113MB\">List of publications in Nature Index which are co-authored by the scientists associated with the University of Silesia in Katowice<\/a>\u00a0(prepared by the Science and Research Department)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nature Index also shared the list of ten Polish and ten foreign institutions that the scientists cooperated with when preparing their publications.
