The Web of Science Group, a Clarivate Analytics company, has appointed Dr Anand Desai to the new role of Research Policy and Assessment Advisor for the Institute for Scientific Information.
Dr Desai comes to the Web of Science Group from the National Science Foundation (NSF) where he was the Chief Evaluation Officer and inaugural head of the Evaluation and Assessment Capability section. The work of this section focused on the strategic use of evidence for organisational learning and performance improvement and studying the role of NSF’s investments in enhancing science and engineering research, education, and infrastructure.
At the Web of Science Group, he will be responsible for developing and delivering a strategic approach to policy and assessment services for institutions, funders, and governments. The new post will form a vital role in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) which builds on the work of Dr. Eugene Garfield - the founder of the ISI and a pioneer of information science.
Dr Desai was on loan to the NSF from his professorship at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University where he taught statistics, mathematical modeling, evaluation, and simulation for public policy analysis. His research is focused on use-inspired theory and applications of evaluative inquiry, performance measurement, data visualization, and spatial analyses.
