The one-screen strategic read

Where you stand, at a glance.

The first thing a leader needs is not more data, it is a verdict. Three strengths to lead with, three challenges to manage, three opportunities to act on, each drawn straight from the network below.

Strengths
  • Mathematics is the standout field. Ranked #841 in the world for connected research, with Social Sciences #996, Arts & Humanities #1011 close behind: the anchors to build consortia around.
  • Strong on impact and influence. Universitas Muhammadiyah Tapanuli Selatan sits in the 3rd percentile for impact and the 0th for influence: genuine, defensible strengths.
  • A genuine bridge, not just a hub. 25 of 31 partners (81%) are non-redundant, so it connects communities that would not otherwise meet.
Challenges
  • International is the softest pillar. At the 0th percentile it sits clearly below the others: the single clearest place to build.
  • Life Sciences is the at-risk domain. World #1,005 for connected research, far behind the rest of the portfolio: a real gap, not a crown jewel.
  • Network concentration. The top two partner countries (ID and MY) carry about 97% of collaboration volume: depth, but a thin long tail.
Opportunities
  • Win HKU. World top-1. University of Hong Kong is top-94 globally in Social Sciences. Route: an NSFC / JSPS / A*STAR bilateral programme, or the Human Frontier Science Program.
  • Win NUS. World top-2. National University of Singapore is top-115 globally in Social Sciences. Route: an NSFC / JSPS / A*STAR bilateral programme, or the Human Frontier Science Program.
  • Convert your highest-yield tie. State University of Malang returns the highest impact of your partners (FWCI 2.5). Formalise it into a funded consortium to compound impact, not just volume.

Your collaboration profile

Seven pillars, each shown as a global percentile. The dashed ring marks the top-decile benchmark; anything inside it is a genuine, defensible strength.

Influence0th pctReach0th pctDiversity0th pctSustained0th pctImpact3rd pctInternational0th pctBrokerage1st pct

Universitas Muhammadiyah Tapanuli Selatan is strongest on impact (3rd percentile), influence (0th) and sustained (0th). Its brokerage diagnostic shows 25 of 31 partners (81%) are non-redundant, a genuine bridge between communities rather than a wide publisher.

The pillar to watch is International (0th percentile), the softest of the six and the clearest place to build.

The anatomy of your standing

Exactly what your position is built from

Six pillars, each weighted, combine into one standing index. Nothing is hidden: this is the entire calculation, in a single bar.

ImpaEach block is a pillar’s weighted contribution; together they place the university in the global ranked cohort.
Influence22% weight0th pct+0.0
Impact18% weight3rd pct+0.5
Sustained18% weight0th pct+0.0
Reach16% weight0th pct+0.0
Diversity16% weight0th pct+0.0
International10% weight0th pct+0.0

Brokerage is reported alongside as a diagnostic, not folded into the score, so a university cannot inflate its standing simply by publishing widely. It measures whether you connect communities that would otherwise stay apart.

Where you lead the world, by field

Each subject placed on a log scale of world rank (1 to 1,195). The further left, the more globally central. Gold marks a top-50 standout, blue a solid position.

Universitas Muhammadiyah Tapanuli Selatan's strongest connected fields are Mathematics #841, Social Sciences #996, Arts & Humanities #1011. The portfolio leans on social sciences; Life Sciences, at world #1,005 in the deep-dive below, is the clear at-risk area, exactly the gap this chart surfaces.

Which partnerships actually pay off

Every anchor partner plotted by collaboration volume against the citation impact of the joint work. The prize quadrant is top-right: high volume and high impact. The bottom-right is the trap: a lot of output, little impact.

High yieldStandardLow yield

State University of Malang returns the highest impact of the set (FWCI 2.5): a consortium waiting to happen. Universitas Negeri Surabaya, by contrast, is a sizeable partner returning FWCI 1.2: worth asking what that volume is buying.

The network spans 34 countries and 131 universities, but the top two carry about 97% of the volume. That concentration is where the resilience question lives, and the Europe white-space (0 of the region's 100 leading collaborators) is the clearest gap to close.
