Countries citing scholars working at Northwestern University
Since Specialization
Citations
This map shows the geographic impact of research produced by authors working at Northwestern University. It shows the number of citations coming from papers published by authors working in each country. You can also color the map by specialization and compare the number of citations received by papers produced at Northwestern University with the expected number of citations based on a country's size and research output (numbers larger than one mean the country cites Northwestern University more than expected).

Rankless uses publication and citation data sourced from OpenAlex, an open and comprehensive
bibliographic database. While OpenAlex provides broad and valuable coverage of the global
research landscape, it—like all bibliographic datasets—has inherent limitations. These include
incomplete records, variations in author disambiguation, differences in journal indexing, and
delays in data updates. As a result, some metrics and network relationships displayed in
Rankless may not fully capture the entirety of a scholar's output or impact.
