Inside University of Kentucky's largest research partnership: The Ohio State University

Behind University of Kentucky's research output sits a defining relationship: 707 co-authored works with The Ohio State University (United States) in the five years to 2025, the university's single largest collaboration.

It anchors an unusually connected research base: 1,110 collaborating institutions across 76 countries, producing 32,907 joint works over the window, with international co-authors on 22% of output.

The collaborative work travels: its field-weighted citation impact stands at 2.2, 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.
