The University of Valencia (UV) is the first Spanish higher education institution in Chemistry, and second in Physics, according to the subject version of Nature Index, a database of information on researchers and basic research articles published in a group of 82 high-quality scientific journals in the natural sciences. In addition, the institution ranks 154 among the 500 classified institutions in the world, and is third in Spain. In the Nature & Science group of journals, it is fifth in the State.
The 82 journals included represent about 30% of the total citations of natural science journals and the data refer to the previous year, on academic institutions. The article count is carried out by two methods: the complete one, in which a count of one is assigned to an institution if one or more authors of the research article are its own, regardless of the number of co-authors from outside that institution; and fractional, which measures the percentage of authors from that institution and the number of affiliated institutions per article, considering that all authors have equally contributed to the article.
Thus, in the institutional version of the ranking, regarding the complete count, the University of Valencia occupies the third position in Spain, only surpassed by the universities of Barcelona and the Autonomous University of Madrid, and also occupies positions 57 in Europe and 154 in the world. In the fractional count it is fourth in Spain, and is in positions 58 and 209, respectively.
In the section by subjects of the fractional count, the UV has advanced two positions in Chemistry compared to 2021, which makes it the first in Spain, and it also improves two in Physics and climbs to second place in the state. In the complete count, the UV remains second in Spain in Physics and third in Chemistry. In all the classifications, the institution ranks first among the Valencian institutions.
In the classification of articles published in the Nature & Science group of journals, the UV has advanced five positions compared to 2021, going from position 9-12 in the state to fifth, and is only surpassed by the Complutense University of Madrid, the University of Barcelona, the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the Autonomous University of Madrid.
