Nature Index, compiled under patronage of the Nature magazine, monitors the count of high-quality outputs in selected science journals. In the recently published list of articles from the area of biomedical sciences, the Czech Academy of Sciences has reached 13th place in the worldwide category of government institutions, gaining the best position from all such institutions in Central and Eastern Europe.
The current list covers the period from 2015 to 2018. The excellent position of the Czech Academy of Sciences also means an improvement of 20.7% compared with the previous year. From European countries, only institutions from the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Italy ranked better than the CAS.
The Czech Academy of Sciences also attained excellent results in the general list of Nature Index, published in September 2018.
