Top 25 Performing Universities in Interdisciplinary Publications

In this list we present the U-Multirank 2018 top performers on the indicator ‘interdisciplinary publications’.

The more a publication refers to publications belonging to different fields of science and the larger the distance between these fields, the higher is the degree of interdisciplinary research at a university. Given that the frontiers of research are often at the edge of disciplines, the interdisciplinarity of research also reflects its innovative character.

The top performers on this indicator are spread across a wide range of (14) countries, representing 19  European and 6 Asian institutions, while there are no US institutions among the Top 25. The institutional profile of the top performers is diverse: the list includes specialised institutions with a focus on agriculture, medicine and pharmacology as well as technical universities and more comprehensive universities.
