In this supplement

Nature Index 2016 Rising Stars identifies the ascendant performers in the world of science, using the power of the Nature Index, which tracks the high-quality research of more than 8,000 global institutions. In this supplement we profile the universities, research institutions and countries that have significantly improved their output, often without the longevity and resources which benefit many of the more established institutions that dominate academic rankings.
