- Campus Can Ruti, Institutional, Research

The Can Ruti Campus and the healthcare and research teams of the different institutions that comprise it continue to prove, once again this year, to be a relevant node on a global scale in terms of scientific production and progress.

This is the latest and most recent update of the Scopus database by Elsevier, a global publisher in the field of Medicine and Health Sciences. The list includes approximately 200,000 authors, accounting for 2% of the world's scientific workforce, who are recognised in two rankings: for their entire scientific career and for their impact in the past year.
