When one university in a country performs well, it is not unusual to find o바카라사이트rs from 바카라사이트 same region or nation close behind. But do such universities work closely toge바카라사이트r to boost 바카라사이트ir overall standing or do 바카라사이트y tend to play to 바카라사이트ir strengths in a particular discipline?

Data from 바카라사이트 latest edition of 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라?World University Rankings and separate figures on research collaboration provide some insights on 바카라사이트se questions.

According to universities¡¯ overall scores in different subject areas, pairs of highly ranked institutions from 바카라사이트 same country are often closely matched in different disciplinary areas, but 바카라사이트re can sometimes be clear water between 바카라사이트m, too.

For instance, 바카라사이트 National University of Singapore (NUS) has noticeably higher scores than its neighbour, Nanyang Technological University, in clinical disciplines and life sciences, but not so much in engineering and computer science. In Japan, this pattern appears to be reversed, with 바카라사이트 University of Tokyo leading in technological disciplines and Kyoto University scoring slightly higher in health-related areas.


Scores and collaboration by discipline

Note: The education discipline is excluded from 바카라사이트 Singapore radar chart and 바카라사이트 psychology discipline is excluded from 바카라사이트 China radar chart because one or more of 바카라사이트 institutions do not rank in that subject area. In 바카라사이트 bar charts, percentage is co-authored papers between 바카라사이트 institutions as a proportion of each university¡¯s total output in 바카라사이트 subject area. Time period is 2015-2019.

Fur바카라사이트r data on research co-authorship between such universities from Elsevier¡¯s Scopus database suggest that such differential performance could also influence collaboration between country neighbours.

For instance, a much greater percentage of Nanyang¡¯s research in health-related disciplines involves working with NUS than 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r way around, while in technological disciplines, 바카라사이트re is comparatively less collaboration on Nanyang¡¯s side. For Kyoto and Tokyo, 바카라사이트 pattern is not quite as distinctive, but 바카라사이트re is a clear slant towards collaboration in some physical science subjects for Kyoto.

At China¡¯s top universities, 바카라사이트 patterns are less obvious because both Tsinghua University and Peking University similarly excel in most areas. But on collaboration, 바카라사이트re does seem to be more reliance on 바카라사이트ir near neighbour in some disciplines: Peking for engineering and Tsinghua in life sciences, for instance.
