Hello Nature Index readers, “Scientists are ridiculously optimistic” when applying for grants with little chance of success, says statistician Adrian Barnett. In our story, Barnett and other researchers share their advice for how to take a more tactical approach to grant applications. Also this week, debunking the myth that prestigious grants or publication in top-flight journals are necessary to obtain a tenure-track position in neuroscience. |

This week, we're revisiting collaboration network graphs that show some of the world's biggest players in artificial intelligence research in the Nature Index. These graphs were created as part an analysis of the top 200 collaborations among 146 institutions based on index data between 2015 and 2019. Circles are sized according to each institution’s Share in artificial intelligence, and the thickness of the lines corresponds to a particular collaboration’s total Share between two institutions. Click here to see the full visualization, run as part of the Nature Index Artificial Intelligence supplement.
United States leadersStanford University has strong collaborative networks within the United States, including with Harvard University. In July 2020, the two institutions launched the Collective and Augmented Intelligence Against COVID-19 alliance, which aims to build an AI-powered decision support tool for public officials and health-care workers. | ||||||||||||||||||
Japan’s close tiesAfter the University of Tokyo, Japan’s top institutions in AI in the natural sciences are RIKEN, then Osaka University. The country stands out for stronger local collaborations, rather than international ties. | ||||||||||||||||||
China’s big playersThe Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have one of the most productive collaborations involving AI research in the natural sciences. China’s biggest international AI collaboration in the Nature Index is between CAS and the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. Tsinghua University has strong ties to Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics and CERN in Switzerland. | ||||||||||||||||||
Europe’s heavy hittersThree UK institutions, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge and UCL, are among the biggest collaborators in AI research in Europe, which in the Nature Index includes the UK and Switzerland. The Max Planck Society in Germany is the fourth-most prolific institution for AI-related research in the Nature Index. Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics and CERN in Switzerland stand out for their high numbers of collaborative partnerships with institutions throughout Europe. | ||||||||||||||||||
