AI Research: University of Freiburg Making Important Contribution
Freiburg, 27/09/2024
The Nature Index 2024 Artificial Intelligence supplement is out. It ranks the University of Freiburg as one of the leading 200 institutions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Freiburg comes in at 143th place internationally and is the eighth best university in German comparison.
The Nature Index 2024 Artificial Intelligence gauges the contribution of research institutions in the field of artificial intelligence on the basis of the contributions their researchers made to corresponding publications. Based on the Nature Index database and the Digital Science Dimensions database, this index considers Nature Index articles and Dimensions publications from the field of artificial intelligence between 2019 and 2023. The list includes the metrics ‘Share’, ‘Count’, and ‘Artificial intelligence (%)’. The ranking is based on the ‘Share’ score.
Count: Number of articles to which University of Freiburg authors contributed
An institution receives a count of 1 for each artificial intelligence article to which at least one of its authors contributed. This is the case regardless of how many authors contributed to an article. The same article can therefore contribute to the count of several institutions. The University of Freiburg achieved a ‘Count’ score of 275.
Share: Portion that iniversity of Freiburg authors contributed to articles
The ranking uses the ‘Share’ metric to determine the contribution an institution made to an article and to ensure that it is not counted more than once. This metric takes into account the share of authorship in each article. The total available share per article is 1 and is divided up among all authors. It is assumed that each author contributed equally. The total share for an institution is a result of the sum of the shares of the individual authors of an institution. The University of Freiburg’s ‘Share’ score is 51.53.
Artificial Intelligence (%): Share of AI articles relative to University of Freiburg publications
The ‘Artificial Intelligence (%)’ metric specifies the share of artificial intelligence articles from an institution relative to its total publication output in the Nature Index catalogue. The University of Freiburg achieved a share of 10.8 % on this metric.
