This supplement starts with the premise that scientific collaborations produce some of the highest quality science. The index, with its core group of selective science journals, is well positioned to glean insights into relationships between institutions and, by extension, between countries.

A novel element in this supplement is a new metric we're calling the collaboration score. This considers only fractional count (FC) or weighted FC (WFC) derived from collaborative work. More explanation of how the collaboration score is calculated can be found in our guide (see page S83).
