Osaka City University's research now spans 57 countries

Research at Osaka City University is a global undertaking: the university co-authors with 647 institutions in 57 countries, and international collaborators appear on 17% of its output.

Its largest single research relationship is with The University of Osaka in Japan, at 1,266 joint works. Across the network, five-year output reaches 5,697 co-authored works.

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