Digital Science, a technology company serving the needs of scientific and research communities, has unveiled a new module of its global grants database, Dimensions.
The Dimensions database, containing information on millions of completed and ongoing research projects with over $1 trillion USD in global research funding, will be made available directly to researchers for the very first time. Users will be able to see how their work fits into the bigger picture of funded research within a specific discipline.
Dimensions is already being used by university administrators and research offices across the globe to inform research development decisions. This new version of the platform, available via site license access, enables researchers themselves to understand new trends as they emerge and to see the research activity in their field unfold in real-time. Users can monitor future research trends - a huge advantage over publication databases which only reflect the achievements from the past; identify potential new collaborators; compare the most up-to-date activity across institutions, subjects and funders around the world; and see built in visualisations and advanced search tools that offer new and instant insights from the data.
