STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the integration of Collexis Expert Profiling, a product of the recently acquired leading developer of semantic technology Collexis, into the SciVal suite as SciVal Experts. The offering enables institutions to find experts while fostering collaboration within the organisation.
SciVal Experts provides institutions with a customisable faculty information system based on content from SciVerse Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. By generating Fingerprints of individual researcher's expertise and exposing connections among authors, SciVal Experts enables researchers, research administrators and senior leadership to identify experts within and across institutions for all disciplines. SciVal Experts visualises network connections within an organisation to help facilitate further collaboration and provides links to download publication data for deeper analysis.
Institutions can customise SciVal Experts beyond the application's standard functionality to help meet their specific needs. Elsevier can connect the organisation's systems to SciVal Experts via web services, integrating internal data sources such as CVs, awarded grants and course information. SciVal Experts can serve as the backbone of an institution's academic information system, enabling the customer to consolidate multiple solutions into a single flexible framework.
The product development of SciVal Experts will be driven by a high level of customer involvement, which was a key principle in the development of Collexis Expert Profiling.
