STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced two new collaboration analyses capabilities - Geographical Collaboration Network and Author Network - available within SciVal Strata, a web-based tool focused on the evaluation of research performance.
SciVal Strata offers researchers and research administrators the flexibility to construct relevant contextual data to benchmark research teams or individual researchers, using a range of indicators based on Elsevier's Scopus data. The collaboration analysis capabilities add a novel dimension to SciVal Strata, enabling users to assess collaboration between researchers.
Geographical Collaboration Network enables research administrators and researchers to view the locations by region and country where a researcher or research team is or has collaborative links. Furthermore, it allows users to observe activity trends over time for any specific region or country.
Author Network allows users to view the complete team in which researchers or research teams collaborated. Moreover, it indicates how often those co-authors have published with that individual or team displaying their prestige according to the h- or g-Indices, measures that represent a combination of productivity and citation impact.
