The Research Collaboration Index · the 2026 results are live
Reputation says Harvard.
Collaboration says Hong Kong.
Reputation is what others say. Collaboration is what a university does, and now it is measured. Drawn from 26.8 million co-authorship records, the index reveals what reputation surveys and citations cannot see: who a university builds knowledge with, and the partners and funding routes to build on next.
