The IP & Science business of Thomson Reuters and The Ohio State University have announced the upcoming launch of Research In View across the university's campus. Research In View is an enterprise-wide system for collecting and managing scholarly activity data across an institution to bring greater clarity to academic resources and performance.
Research in View leverages the unique expertise of Thomson Reuters in citations and bibliometric data, building upon Ohio State's foundational platform (OSU:pro), to support a full view of university activities and performance . The result of a multi-year partnership between the two organisations, this faculty profiling system collects data from multiple sources and in various formats, standardising it to provide a unified database and analytic interface for managing, searching and reporting on key areas within an institution. Ohio State is the first university to implement this comprehensive, campus-wide system.
The data captured in Research in View offers insight into the full spectrum of research, teaching and service activities, and will allow Ohio State to assess the impact of its strategic initiatives by quantifying its strengths and promoting its contribution to scholarship and the community. Faculty members can easily build and maintain profiles of their service, teaching, and research expertise, giving university administrators a complete picture of the university's intellectual assets and streamlining reporting activities.
Research in View was developed by the Research Analytics business at Thomson Reuters in consultation with university administrators worldwide. It is fully integrated with Thomson Reuters tools that support strategic research decisions and the evaluation and management of research, including ResearcherID and InCites. This suite of solutions is fuelled by content from Web of Knowledge and ScienceWire.
