American Society of Civil Engineers adopts HighWire’s visual analytics tool, Impact Vizor -

HighWire Press has announced that the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) will use Impact VizorTM, the visual analytics tool that delivers evidence and faster insight into citation trends to inform the strategic plans, policies, and editorial decisions of journal publishers. Impact Vizor integrates citation data and other indicators of impact from several sources to identify citation trends and outliers across ASCE's 35 peer-reviewed journals.

Impact Vizor is tailored to meet the requirements of each publisher so they quickly evaluate trends at the topic, journal, and portfolio level. Data analysts and non-technical staff can spend their valuable time getting answers to their questions, instead of collecting data and defining queries.

More than thirty-five publishers, including American Chemical Society and the American Thoracic Society use Impact Vizors which is supported by BenchPress on the HighWire Intelligent Platform and by integrations with Editorial Manager, eJournal Press, Scholar One and other manuscript systems. John Sack, Founding Director, works closely with publishers using Impact Vizor to develop visualisations that are in demand by editorial boards. Impact Vizor was an ALPSP Innovation in Publishing Finalist in 2015, and is able to support publishers who do not host their journals with HighWire or use BenchPress.
