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
  • Chemistry is the standout field. Ranked #220 in the world for connected research, with Chemical Engineering #283, Psychology #378 close behind: the anchors to build consortia around.
  • Strong on international and diversity. Universitat Jaume I sits in the 54th percentile for international and the 46th for diversity: genuine, defensible strengths.
  • A genuine bridge, not just a hub. 83 of 93 partners (89%) are non-redundant, so it connects communities that would not otherwise meet.
Challenges
  • Influence is the softest pillar. At the 11th percentile it sits clearly below the others: the single clearest place to build.
  • Life Sciences is the at-risk domain. World #1,034 for connected research, far behind the rest of the portfolio: a real gap, not a crown jewel.
  • Network concentration. The top two partner countries (Spain and United Kingdom) carry about 70% 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: Horizon Europe (associated-country participation) or bilateral Royal Society / DFG / ANR schemes.
  • Win NUS. World top-2. National University of Singapore is top-115 globally in Social Sciences. Route: Horizon Europe (associated-country participation) or bilateral Royal Society / DFG / ANR schemes.
  • Convert your highest-yield tie. Universidad Autónoma de Madrid returns the highest impact of your partners (FWCI 2.9). 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.

Influence11th pctReach21st pctDiversity46th pctSustained21st pctImpact40th pctInternational54th pctBrokerage35th pct

Universitat Jaume I is strongest on international (54th percentile), diversity (46th) and impact (40th). Its brokerage diagnostic shows 83 of 93 partners (89%) are non-redundant, a genuine bridge between communities rather than a wide publisher.

The pillar to watch is Influence (11th 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.

InflImpaSustReacDiveInteEach block is a pillar’s weighted contribution; together they place the university in the global ranked cohort.
Influence22% weight11th pct+2.4
Impact18% weight40th pct+7.2
Sustained18% weight21st pct+3.8
Reach16% weight21st pct+3.4
Diversity16% weight46th pct+7.4
International10% weight54th pct+5.4

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.

Universitat Jaume I's strongest connected fields are Chemistry #220, Chemical Engineering #283, Psychology #378. The portfolio leans on social sciences; Life Sciences, at world #1,034 in the deep-dive below, is the clear at-risk area, exactly the gap this chart surfaces.

How you collaborate, faculty by faculty

The same network split into its four broad domains, each with its world rank for connected research and the five partners it leans on most. This is the view a dean or pro-vice-chancellor acts on.

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.

Joint works (collaboration volume) →Impact (FWCI) →high yieldUniversitat de ValUniversitat PolitèUniversidad Autóno
High yieldStandardLow yield

Universidad Autónoma de Madrid returns the highest impact of the set (FWCI 2.9): a consortium waiting to happen. Universitat de València, by contrast, is a sizeable partner returning FWCI 2.7: worth asking what that volume is buying.

The network spans 74 countries and 759 universities, but the top two carry about 70% of the volume. That concentration is where the resilience question lives, and the Middle East white-space (0 of the region's 2 leading collaborators) is the clearest gap to close.

A partnership does not plug into a name, it plugs into a base: the affiliated hospitals, presses, institutes and archives, and the research themes where the joint work concentrates.
