The Nature Index, compiled by Nature, tracks the number of high-quality scientific articles in selected scientific journals. In the recently published ranking of outputs in biomedical sciences, the Czech Academy of Sciences took the 13^th place in the world in the category of government research facilities. This is also the best result for an institution from Central and Eastern Europe.

The current ranking covers the period from 2015 to 2018. The excellent position of the CAS also represents a year-on-year improvement of 20.7 %. Only four other European countries surpassed the CAS: the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Italy. The Czech Academy of Sciences was also very successful in the overall Nature Index, published in September 2018. The CAS achieved a year-on-year improvement of 18.2 % and ranked 19^th in the world.
