STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced its collaboration with Kanazawa University in Japan by providing access to SciVal and consultative support in mapping the university's research performance.
With the help of SciVal Consultants, Kanazawa University used SciVal to map out its research expertise and areas of growth, identify potential resources to accelerate funding acquisition and gather actionable insights to enhance collaboration between the university and industry partners. These analyses, which were conducted during the past months, will be used by Kanazawa University's research administrators (URAs) as a basis for defining the university's future research strategy.
Designed to support the many stages of the research planning cycle, Elsevier's SciVal suite of solutions provides information about research performance, funding and expertise to enable informed decision-making and drive successful outcomes. Serving research institutions, funding agencies and policy bodies, SciVal delivers objective analytical capabilities that can enhance the performance of individuals, teams and organisations. SciVal integrates institutional and external data sources with information from Elsevier's Scopus, the standard for bibliometric research tools, to offer trusted solutions including SciVal Experts, SciVal Funding, SciVal Spotlight, SciVal Strata, SciVal Analytics and Pure.
