About these numbers
Field-Weighted Citation Impact compares citations received to citations expected for works of the same type, subfield, and year; 1.0 is the world average. OpenAlex indexes more works than subscription databases, which tends to produce higher FWCI values than Scopus or Web of Science report for the same institutions; values here should be compared within this page, not against other providers. International co-authorship share is the percentage of an institution's publications in the window with at least one co-author affiliated with an institution outside Canada. It measures global connection; a publication counts fully for the University of Regina regardless of who else contributed. Raw data for every table is downloadable above as CSV, which opens directly in Excel.
