SciVal Analytics: Broad Range of Solutions
National Research AssessmentAnalysis of a nation’s scientific research to
inform decisions related to funding
allocations, research policies and
strategies• International comparative analysis• ROI of funded projects• Research position and Collaboration
analysis of selected countries or region• Human capital brain circulation• Knowledge transfer• Research Excellence Initiatives
Institutional Performance Analysis
and BenchmarkingInstitutional performance analysis to
evaluate and benchmark against selected
peer institutions
• Quantity and quality of research• Collaboration analysis• Interdisciplinary competencies• Star articles per subject areas• Unit of Assessment benchmark (UK)
SciVal Analytics adds value to the data through careful analysis and the creation
of reports which present clients with data driven key findings and insights
SciVal Analytics: National/Institutional ReportsSciVal Analytics: National/Institutional Reports
Web data portal to support

Previous Elsevier Experience with Portfolios
An analysis commissioned from Elsevier by the UK Department of
Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)
• The UK is a global research leader but faces major challenges including funding
levels and growth vs. others, eg. China
• The UK’s aim is to sustain a “strong, productive research base which is
responsive, flexible and dynamic” to drive long-term growth
Elsevier’s Objective:
• Build robust, fact-based assessments and insights to help BIS target future
investments to maximize growth and societal impact and explore
implications for UK research policy

Analytical Expertise: UK BIS ReportAnalytical Expertise: UK BIS Report
•Adding bibliometrics to grant-based publication analysis. (researcher profiling, etc.)
•Normalized trans-institute analysis of funded & unfunded research (Common Fund, etc.), RFA vs. Unfunded
•Expertise profiling of extramural program officers and intramural researchers to help facilitate collaboration.
Portfolio Possibilities at NIH
•Supporting and Optimizing the Peer Review Process, efficient many-to-many matching, overlap checking, etc.
•Aiding DPCPSI and other NIH-wide organizations and initiatives (Common Fund, Neuroscience, Obesity, OBSSR, BECON, OAR, ODP, etc…)
•Supporting Translational Science initiatives (CTSA, B2B, etc.)
•President Obama’s Brain Initiative
