NWO and KNAW institutes: scientific publication output and citation impact (WoS)
The indicator shows two aspects of the scientific output by NWO and KNAW institutes: 1) Trends in the number of scientific publications, as registered in the Web of Science database by Clarivate Analytics, and 2) the citation impact of the institutes.

Notes: Field normalised citation impact score (world-wide average = 1,0): the number of citations that publications received relative to the world-wide average of citations received, per scientific field (world-wide average = 1,0).
Analysis
The number of scientific publications produced by the KNAW and NWO institutes show a positive trend, but since 2017 the number of publication produced by the KNAW institutes is declining slightly.
Publications by both the KNAW institutes as well as the NWO institutes show a relatively high citation impact scores. Over the period 2015-2018 the KNAW institutes citation scores are well above the average in the Netherlands (Dutch average = 1.31, world-wide average = 1.0). The citation scores for the NWO institutes over the period 2015-2018 are sligthly below the Dutch average.
