9月20日，英国《自然》增刊公布了自然指数2018上升之星（Nature Index 2018 Rising Stars），在Top 200家机构中有79家来自中国，在前Top 20中有15家机构都来自中国：中国科学院大学、清华大学、上海交通大学、南方科技大学、武汉大学、中国科学技术大学、南京大学、华南理工大学、东南大学、西安交通大学、厦门大学、北京大学、四川大学、中山大学、华中科技大学。
自然指数2018上升之星描述了自然科学领域崭露头角的研究人员。 这些人在自然指数中取得了卓越成就，并在竞争激烈的学术界展示了更高的激情，雄心和韧性。 本期增刊还讲述了过去三年中对自然指数贡献超过预期的机构，国家和地区的故事。
自2015年以来，六个国家对自然指数的贡献绝对值和百分比增幅最高。中国正在挑战科学研究传统强国地位，但其他五个国家（奥地利、挪威、捷克、巴西和伊朗）正在对较低层面研究局面产生影响。
由Nature Research编制，依托于全球顶级82个期刊高质量科学期刊独立选出的研究论文中整理出来的数据库，统计各高校、科研院所（国家）在国际上最具影响力的研究型学术期刊上发表论文数量。
自然指数每月更新一次，2018年度数据可在Nature Index官网上公开获取。自然指数还发布了回溯至2015年的国家和机构日历年度产出的年度表格，以及前几年发布的年度表格的存档。
