Next best research groups: the full listing
The last issue of Resource contained lists of the very best of Wageningen's research groups. These need to be supplemented with the listing here.
One way to view the scores is to give more weight to the Q-score, where-as the total score is obtained by treating all criteria (quality, productivity, relevance and vitality) equally.
The top groups - Entomology, Phytopathology, Human Nutrition, Microbiology, Environmental Systems Analysis, Nematology and Plant Production Systems - have the maximum total score of 20 points each.
The following are the next best groups, being in the range of 18-20 points. The scores for quality (Q) are bracketed.
