In my opinion, a good research institute should have the following characteristics.
First of all, teachers, excellent tutors and researchers can provide high-level guidance and support;
The second is the research atmosphere, including teamwork, open communication and innovative thinking.
Finally, the research results, the quantity and quality of papers published, as well as the patent application and transformation can reflect the strength of an institute.
from these perspectives, the top ten research institutes of Chinese academy of sciences are indeed the top scientific research institutions in China.
For example, the Institute of Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences has outstanding achievements and well-known experts in atomic and molecular physics and condensed matter physics; The Institute of Microbiology of China Academy of Sciences has made remarkable achievements in microbial resources, antibacterial drugs and virology.
Of course, we can't just look at the rankings and ignore other influencing factors. The strength of an institute depends not only on the ranking, but also on the comprehensive evaluation of many factors.
The individual's choice should also be determined according to his own interests and needs. Choosing a research institute that is most suitable for his own development can have a better development prospect.
