Inside Korea University of Science and Technology's largest research partnership: Korea University

Behind Korea University of Science and Technology's research output sits a defining relationship: 1,320 co-authored works with Korea University (South Korea) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 783 collaborating institutions across 68 countries, producing 12,897 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 20% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 2.05, where the world average is 1.0.

The Research Collaboration Index, the first global account of how universities actually collaborate, publishes its first full edition on Tuesday 15 September at 09:00 UK.

Every figure derives from the open global research record and is checkable at source.
