In November 2014, Springer Nature published its first global Nature Index using weighted fractional count ( WFC ). The analysis of nature index is based on the statistics of research papers published by scientific research institutions in 68 natural science journals such as Nature, Science and Cell in the previous year. It traces the information of authors of about 60,000 high-quality research papers, covering more than 20,000 scientific research institutions in the world. The Sixty-eight journals from different sources are selected by two independent selection groups of on-the-job scientists from all over the world. They are classified into four categories: chemistry, earth and environment science, life sciences and physics. They play an important role in evaluating scientific research institutions regarding the output of high-level international academic achievements.
