Report summary

For Michigan State University Department of Animal Science in 2018-2020, the graph shows 30 visible PIs and 24 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (25% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Reproductive Biology and Fertility as the leading topic (7% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). The network looks reasonably well-rounded, with visible collaboration groups but not so much concentration that one field explains the whole department. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are M.S. Allen (14.5 weighted works; Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology, Reproductive Physiology in Livestock); A.L. Lock (14.3 weighted works; Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology, Reproductive Physiology in Livestock). The clearest collaboration lines are Janice M. Siegford and Juan P. Steibel (12 shared works, weight 4.8). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 6.1, around Molecular Biology, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, led by Almudena Veiga-López, Keith E. Latham, George W. Smith.
