Damit ist sie auf Augenhöhe mit den weltweit besten und angesehen­sten Forschungsinstitutionen. Die mehr als 13.000 Publikationen jedes Jahr in interna­tional renommierten Fachzeitschriften sind Beleg für die hervorragende Forschungsar­beit an Max-Planck-Instituten – viele Artikel davon dürfen sich zu den meist zitierten Publikationen in ihrem jeweiligen Fachgebiet zählen.
