Dimensions, part of Digital Science, has partnered with Google Cloud to remove barriers to data access, analysis and visualisation for organisations across the research and innovation ecosystem. With its new integration, the Dimensions database is now available to be analysed on BigQuery, Google Cloud’s serverless, highly scalable and secure multi-cloud data warehouse.
In today’s environment, stakeholders in the research and innovation ecosystem are seeking to make better, evidence-based decisions. To do this, they need greater access to contextual information, while at the same time protecting the security of their own data. The combination of technologies like those of Dimensions and BigQuery directly addresses this fundamental need, and creates a new infrastructure for organisations across the full Research & Development lifecycle.
Dimensions provides a comprehensive view of the research and innovation landscape. Updated daily, it currently contains 112m publications linked to 1.3bn citations, 5.5m grants worth $1.7 trillion in funding, 41m patents, 600k clinical trials, over 120m Altmetric data points – and more.
BigQuery provides companies with a modern, serverless and highly scalable data warehouse. Through the integration with Dimensions, it gives these joint users an unprecedented flexibility to access the data in Dimensions, but also allows anyone in the research world to connect external datasets to Dimensions privately and securely. These datasets could be an organisation’s own private data, or important scientific databases such as ChEMBL.
Direct integration with business intelligence and data visualisation tools, such as Tableau, Qlik and PowerBI, means that users can bring Dimensions data together with their own data, and use it for a broad set of use cases, from competitive intelligence through to the assessment of research’s social and economic impact. With BigQuery, customers can gain insights with real-time and predictive analytics to support better business decisions, and enables users to create custom dashboards and reports that can be securely accessed and shared across their organisation.
