The Current Health and Future Well-Being of the American Research University

In an effort to understand the current U.S. research landscape, identify common challenges faced by leading research institutions and recommend and develop solutions, a community driven effort involving 29 of the nation’s top research universities was established in 2011-2012, with support from Elsevier.  The leadership of this group, the Research Universities Futures Consortium, conducted interviews with the Research Executives and their staffs at 25 universities of the Consortium and held a national workshop, which informed their study,  “The Current Health and Future Well-Being of the American Research University,” which was released in June 2012. Download the study and learn more about the Consortium’s key findings.

White Paper - Co-Citation Analysis: The Methodology of SciVal Spotlight

Despite the fact that many journals are progressively covering a wider array of disciplines and paradigms, to date, research output has only been evaluated based on the classification of the journal in which it is published - leaving critical interdisciplinary research often overlooked and unaccounted for.

In this paper, you will learn about how SciVal Spotlight uses co-citation analysis to overcome this knowledge gap and provide a broader and deeper view of research performance.

Research Study - Identifying Distinctive Competencies in Science

An accurate assessment of the scientific strengths of an institution is critical for identifying areas of scientific leadership. In this paper, we explore the concept of ‘science mapping’ an alternative method for accurately identifying areas of scientific leadership – and how this compares to more traditional approaches.

Using the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) as an example, we show how science mapping can more accurately identify an institution’s distinctive competencies, using bibliographic analysis and visualization algorithms.
