The top ten institutions for physical sciences for 2023 are listed below, which published more than 1,000 articles. This list is based on information gathered from the editors of journals that publish these topics. It contains no weighting, and a growing number of authors are not included because their publications have not yet been indexed by JCI. The index is maintained by Elsevier Science since 1998 and the journals that it tracks were selected with guidance from several major editorial boards, including Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, European Scientific Reviews, International Mathematical Society, etc.

According to KPMG, MIT employs more employees than any single industry and university in the country; over 85% percent of MIT graduates are employed within six months after graduation. While some argue that the university should focus more on serving a minority population and less on scientific talent, others support giving opportunities to underrepresented groups rather than focusing solely on intellectual property. Overall, the percentage of female professionals in MIT is about 30%, compared to 80% and 90% for men and women respectively. Many associate degree programs and master's degrees focus on specific branches of science and engineering, such as microbiology, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, civil and environmental engineering.
1. Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., USA
