Inside Dublin City University's largest research partnership: Trinity College Dublin

Behind Dublin City University's research output sits a defining relationship: 1,294 co-authored works with Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 953 collaborating institutions across 76 countries, producing 10,726 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 44% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 3.47, where the world average is 1.0.

The Research Collaboration Index, the first global account of how universities actually collaborate, published its first full edition on 15 September 2026. The full results are public.
