The Water and Food Nexus: Trends and Development of the Research Landscape

The report, 'The Water and Food Nexus: Trends and Development of the Research Landscape' analysed the major trends in water and food-related article output at international, national and institutional levels. Elsevier and Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) worked closely together on creating the report, which is based on the analysis of Scopus citation data by Elsevier’s SciVal Analytics team. The aim of this report is to provide a transparent view of the water research landscape and the key players within the field, which is becoming more dynamic, complex and, in some places, fragmented. The report clearly shows that water research is growing in new places and becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, where collaboration is a key factor in producing high impact research.

SciVal Suite Prospectus

A strong research management acumen requires the most accurate information when charting the strategies of an institution or agency. With today’s global research landscape in a constant state of flux, currency and awareness of advancements and emerging talent in the global scientific community is a challenge for many decision makers. Expending the time and resources to assemble and process the vast amount of data and information necessary to manage a research portfolio can be costly and ineffective.

Alternative Energy Leadership Study - Measuring Performance Through a Multidisciplinary Lens

Drawing an accurate picture of how universities and countries are performing with respect to alternative energy-related research is critical for understanding the potential solutions emerging from this science. Without proper insight, academic and government bodies cannot make appropriate funding decisions or develop strategic blueprints that will lead them to the scientific breakthroughs crucial to long-term alternative energy solutions and economic success.

Solving today’s most pressing scientific challenges increasingly requires a multidisciplinary approach. Yet, the traditional methods for measuring output no longer capture the reality of how research is being conducted. This study examines alternative energy research from a multidisciplinary perspective, identifying leading institutions (primarily universities) using a new model of science and illustrating how leadership can be masked under current performance measurement systems.

Highlights of the proof-of-principle study were shared in a webcast: Research Leadership Redefined... Measuring Performance in a Multidisciplinary Landscape
