Mission: The development of public health, healthcare, and welfare systems capable of responding to the low birthrate and rapidly aging population is an urgent issue in Japan. In addition, there are strong calls for the building of a society that ensures lifelong health and safety. In order to promote administrative health, labor, and welfare policies in Japan relating to public health, healthcare, and welfare, the NIPH implements training for local government employees, etc. and related surveys and research. The NIPH engages in various other activities as well, including making policy proposals to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and providing scientific evidence for the promotion of policies; the supply of health-related information to local governments and the public. Through these activities, the NIPH contributes to the improvement of public health in Japan.

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.
| Area | World | Asiatic Region | OECD | Japan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural and Biological Sciences + | 120th | 32nd | 78th | 1st |
| Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 2103rd | 566th | 1561st | 58th |
| Chemistry | 82nd | 30th | 45th | 1st |
| Environmental Science | 1902nd | 608th | 1147th | 25th |
| Medicine + | 1847th | 529th | 1308th | 46th |
| Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics | 1072nd | 304th | 753rd | 21st |
| Veterinary | 699th | 155th | 452nd | 19th |
These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
