Top academic institutions in 2018: normalized

Some of the top 10 have tiny article counts compared with the likes of Harvard University: the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is number one, yet comes 345th in our Annual Tables; the 30-year-old Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research of Bangalore in India is 7th in the normalized ranking and otherwise 413th. Established just 30 years ago in Bangalore, India, and today with some 53 faculty members and 300 students, the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) is significantly younger and smaller than many of the institutions in the Nature Index Annual Tables. Major studies involving JNCASR researchers in recent years include a Science Translational Medicine paper about spinal-cord injuries, and a Nature Neuroscience paper with new insights into the hippocampus.
