MIT University's research now spans 67 countries

Research at MIT University is a global undertaking: the university co-authors with 795 institutions in 67 countries, and international collaborators appear on 95% of its output.

Its largest single research relationship is with RMIT University in Australia, at 5,114 joint works. Across the network, five-year output reaches 16,699 co-authored works.

Connectivity of this kind is increasingly the currency of modern science, and it is measurable: the open scholarly record makes every one of these relationships public and checkable.

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.
