STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has launched a new enhancement to SciVal Spotlight, an integrated collaboration analysis enabling institutional decision makers to identify and evaluate partnerships at an institutional and author level.
As a rising number of institutions shift their focus towards collaborative relationships to secure funding in a more competitive research landscape, analyzing current and potential partners has become increasingly important. This new enhancement allows users to identify and assess existing and potential partner institutions related to the current research competencies.
Further, it enables the evaluation of existing partnerships by combined article output among contributing institutions and displays collaboration partners in particular research strengths. Ultimately, institutional decision makers can now find or evaluate existing and potential partners by uncovering with whom they are collaborating, with whom they are sharing and not sharing competencies, and who is active within competencies but is not yet a partner.
Elsevier’s SciVal suite of services supports academic and government leadership in evaluating, establishing and executing research strategies that optimise the performance of existing assets and maximise investments to enhance near and long-term productivity. SciVal tools leverage Scopus data, Elsevier’s trusted source of bibliometric data, to offer innovative yet authoritative solutions.
