Chemistry included on ESI list

Posted on May 05, 2021

Chemistry was added to UP's list of ESI Research Fields.  Essential Science Indicators (ESI) is an analytical tool that helps to identify top-performing research in the Web of Science Core Collection. ESI surveys more than 11,000 journals from around the world to rank authors, institutions, countries, and journals in 22 broad fields based on publication and citation performance. Data covers a rolling 10-year period and includes bimonthly updates to rankings and citation counts.  Whenever a University features in any of these fields, it means that the University scores within the top 1% globally for that research field. 

Currently UP has 11 fields on the ESI top 1% list:

Agricultural Sciences
Biology & Biochemistry
Chemistry
Clinical Medicine
Economics & Business
Engineering
Immunology
Microbiology
Environment/Ecology
Plant & Animal Science
Social Sciences, General
