What research is done in London?

Papers authored at London's institutions — University College London, Imperial College London, King's College London — with the Prism stance layer.

Summary

The available research shows a powerful academic engine centred on health and computation. UCL contributes 24952 papers, Imperial 16973 and King's 11792; machine learning leads the opportunity areas, closely followed by children's health, mental health and women's health.

WATCH Watch the tension between promising health work and caution around children's health.
Research outlook for London

What the papers — written in the city and about it — point to, split by the Prism stance layer: work that reads promising versus work that flags problems or urges caution.
