Measuring Research Performance
The Future of Research Management
As we enter a new decade, the traditional rules of funding are being rewritten as the borders between disciplines and countries are quickly dissolving. Research managers in Europe and their research administrator counterparts in the United States are finding themselves at the epicenter of this fundamental shift.

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.

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.

White Paper - New Research Landscapes: New Tools for Driving Success
With research in the University sector balancing on the knife edge of globalization. Research now crosses disciplines and national boundaries. Government and funding agencies demand public good and economic returns on their research investments. As the research landscape evolves, so do the tools that Research Executives and Managers require to evaluate research performance as well as make informed strategic decisions.

Objectively Distributing Research Funds
The Executive Vice President of Tohoku University, one of the top research universities in Japan, needed to allocate a special funding budget. Using data from SciVal Spotlight and SciVerse Scopus, in addition to internal data and feedback from top researchers in each department, the EVP was able to establish an objective method for distributing the funds.

New Research Landscapes: New tools to Drive Success
In a changing global research environment where technologies, ideas and research funding are highly mobile, researchers across disciplines and countries are increasingly facing challenges around engagement, infrastructure integration and return on investment.
Within this context, the tools that Research Executives and Managers require has become ever more complex, to enable them to evaluate research performance both within and across disciplines. This paper examines the research drivers and tools required to achieve that success.

SciVal Perspectives - Identifying Organizational Inefficiencies in Research Institutions
In today’s lean times, academic and government decision-makers continually face challenges to efficiently and effectively organize their research organizations and conduct research activities.
Using SciVal Spotlight to analyze the research projects of 106 life science researchers within an elite Japanese research center, decision-makers could clarify structural and resource issues in both their established and newly created research centers and, hopefully, use the results to initiate constructive changes and improve overall organizational efficiencies.
