Mission: What is "Practical Science" at the time of foundation of Tokyo University of Agriculture? "Practical Science" is the school motto advocated by the first President YOKOI Tokiyoshi. Its original fundamental principle lies in the rational spirit in which problems are totally grasped and analyzed considering diversified conditions and eventually solved through pursuing theories and means. "Practical Science" is multi-disciplinary science and the fundamental principle is "Return man to the farm". Agriculture science is wisdom of agriculture. The inductive approach is symbolized by the words, "Ask rice plant about rice plant, ask farmers about agriculture". Introduction of rural idea to city and creation of cultural and creative agricultural village is aimed. The views of self-sufficiency in food production and maintaining sustainable land are emphasized.

The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
