The CNRS, France ranked 6th in the most productive institutes, whereas, ranked 2nd in the number of inter-institutionally collaborated articles.
Six institutes in China, four in Japan, two each in USA and France, and one each in Switzerland, Brazil, UK, India, Spain, and Russia, all of which were ranked in the top 20 most productive institutes as shown in Table 4.
It is worth noting that the Chinese Academy of Sciences with a highest h-index of 55 was the most productive institute for the total articles (796), as well as single institute articles (342), first authored articles (542), and corresponding authored articles (528), while the inter-institutionally collaborative articles (454) ranked 1st.

James D. Wolfensohn, the World Bank official who is chairman of the institute's board of trustees, said that his "tenure has been marked both by his ability to guide this institution in productive and exciting new directions, and his ability to further strengthen the unique opportunities the institute offers".
"You can feel that same potential here," said Dr. Alberts, who oversees the Laboratory of Cell Structure and Signal Integration, one of the institute's most productive teams.
"As described in the detail write-up, this is not a normal result of fracturing, as it ruins the productive capability of the wells," the institute said about the case.

Shami Chakrabarti, the director of the civil liberties group Liberty, said: "I can think of no better way for the prime minister to make a fresh start for his government than to abandon the cruel and counter-productive punishments without trial instituted by his predecessor.
