NWO and KNAW institutes: scientific publication output and citation impact (WoS)

How many scientific publications will be published by NWO and KNAW institutes between 2011 and 2023?

Analysis
The number of scientific publications produced by the KNAW and NWO institutes show a positive trend, but since 2020 the number of publication produced by the KNAW institutes is declining. The decrease we see in 2017 is caused largely by the fact that one of the KNAW-institutes, the Netherlands Heart Institute, leaves the KNAW to continue on its own. Its publications are excluded from this analysis from 2017 onwards. 
 

Citation impact for NWO and KNAW institutes

Analysis
Both the publications of the KNAW institutes and those of the NWO institutes show a relatively high citation impact scores. At the KNAW institutes we see an upward trend in the citation impact. In the period 2019-2022, the citation impact score for the KNAW institutes is well above the average (area-standardised citation impact 2019-2022 is 1.88, the global average is 1.0). We see a decrease in the citation impact of the NWO institutes, but it is still above the global average (area standardized citation impact 2019-2022 is 1.22, the global average is 1.0). The citation impact for the period 2019-2022 is just below the Dutch average (1.28).
