Inside National Cheng Kung University's largest research partnership: National Taiwan University
Behind National Cheng Kung University's research output sits a defining relationship: 1,342 co-authored works with National Taiwan University (Taiwan) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.
It anchors an unusually connected research base: 979 collaborating institutions across 69 countries, producing 22,978 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 28% of output.
The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 2.07, 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.
