- Most productive researchers
- Most influential (i.e. cited) researchers
- Top nonprofits by grant revenue
- Most diversified grant-portfolio by funder
Using our data visualization tool, you can spotlight leaders in your field and track their contributions over time.
Understand collaboration networks
Use our collaboration analysis tool to uncover the institutions and researchers driving progress in your field. Identify emerging collaborations that could shape future discoveries, track how research teams work together globally and see where the strongest interdisciplinary connections are forming. You can consider the following factors:
- Most productive/influential collaborations (intra-organization, national, or international)
- Most productive/influential academic-corporate collaborations
Illuminate hidden areas of research strengths
Leverage our research strategy development tool to identify emerging areas of research strength that may not yet be visible at a surface level. Whether it’s pinpointing underfunded topics with high potential or exploring trends across early-career researchers, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of where your organization stands — and where it could go. Consider the following:
- Topics analysis including concept (i.e. keyword) breakdowns
- Most productive researchers as measured by publications, research funding, collaborations, patents, or clinical trials
- Most influential (i.e. cited) researchers
- Academic-age buckets measuring how diversified your grant revenue, publication productivity, and research impact is on the seniority spectrum all the way from PhD candidates to endowed department chairs
- Benchmark against peer organizations
- Measure the impact of your organization’s research through the most cited research areas, the people and organizations doing the citing
- See and understand the impact on the world beyond the ivory tower, for example:
- What are your most cited publications in patents?
- Are any of your publications cited by first-in-human clinical trials?
