What research is done in Ottawa?

Papers authored at Ottawa's institutions — University of Ottawa, Carleton University, Ottawa Hospital — with the Prism stance layer.

Summary

Research is broad and institutionally anchored. The partial index contains 16859 papers, with the University of Ottawa contributing 6781 and Carleton University 3151. Machine learning, women's health and mental health stand out, while much of the work is descriptive or promising rather than breakthrough.

WATCH Watch whether health and machine-learning work turns promising findings into breakthroughs.
