What research is done in San Francisco?
Papers authored at San Francisco's institutions — University of California, San Francisco, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, University of San Francisco — with the Prism stance layer.
Summary
The city produces overwhelmingly health-led research. UCSF accounts for 11078 of 14960 papers in the partial record, with children’s health, women’s health, breast cancer and mental health among the areas showing strongest promise.
WATCH Watch whether strong health research turns more promising work into breakthroughs.
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.
