Top Research Institutions Screensaver
The Top Research Institutions screensaver shows the institutions whose published work has been cited most, from the key-less OpenAlex catalogue. Citation counts reward size and age as much as quality, so this maps research volume rather than merit. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
