Inside Seattle University's largest research partnership: University of Washington

Behind Seattle University's research output sits a defining relationship: 5,069 co-authored works with University of Washington (United States) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 972 collaborating institutions across 76 countries, producing 10,615 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 35% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 2.62, where the world average is 1.0.
