Report summary

University of Macau Department of Ocean Science and Technology in 2015-2026 reads as a 8-PI network with 4 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Environmental Science as the leading field (60% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels), Environmental Chemistry as the leading subfield (25% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels), and Bacteriophages and microbial interactions as the leading topic (11% of slots across 1 PIs; 1 labels). The focus is impressively clear, which is good for fit in Environmental Science but worth checking for breadth outside that area. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Zhongya Cai (14.4 weighted works; Oceanographic and Atmospheric Processes, Methane Hydrates and Related Phenomena). The strongest pairings are Guangsheng Qian and Bo Zhang (1 shared works, weight 1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 1.7, around Oceanography, Ecology, Environmental Chemistry, led by Zhongya Cai, Jie Xu, Qibang Tang.
