3. Go to the Topics tab on your profile

Do you have a noteworthy contribution?

Look at the Scholarly Output and Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) values - not the Prominence Percentile (this is about the topic, not you!)

1. Hover over a Topic and click Analyze activity of Researcher

2. Scroll down to Explore activity of your Institution within current Topic in detail

3. Export this page to see what your contribution is to the topic in comparison to the Australia and Worldwide output and Field-Weighted Citation Impact on the topic.
