The Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters has announced an expansion of its longstanding relationship with the Tunisian National University Center of Scientific and Technical Documentation which gives university researchers and administrators access to Thomson Reuters InCites. The agreement marks a key step in the nation’s effort to advance how it conducts, measures and evaluates its research programmes.
With the recent addition of InCites, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Tunisia will be able to more effectively analyse and assess its national research output as well as gain a clearer understanding of the country’s research activity compared to other nations. InCites will also provide the Ministry with a unified view of its universities and help establish a single national policy for crediting universities accurately and appropriately.
Since 2004, research institutions across Tunisia have relied on the world's leading citation data in the Web of Knowledge to connect with the most influential journal literature from around the world. Powered by data in the Web of Knowledge, the analytic tools in InCites will provide the Ministry with a much clearer view of what the country’s research strengths are and where its biggest opportunities for growth lie.
InCites, part of the research analytics suite of solutions provided by Thomson Reuters, supports strategic decision making and the evaluation and management of research. This suite includes consulting services, custom studies and reports, web-based platforms and enterprise systems.
