SciVal Spotlight

• WSU’s Office of Research response to:• Weak U.S. economy• End of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

• WSU’s Office of Research need to analyze our distinctive and emerging strengths to help determine resource allocations

Why SciVal?

• WSU’s strongest Subject Areas

• How interdisciplinary (or not) WSU is, and how we compare to our peers

• Who are our publication and citation leaders? How do we compare with our peers?

• Who we are/should be collaborating with

Spotlight Analysis Helps Analyze…

• Spotlight mines data from the Elsevier Scopus Database• The worlds largest abstract and citation database of peer

reviewed literature and quality web sources• Based on co-citation impact

• So how does Spotlight mine and classify data? Co-Citation Analysis and “Article Clusters”

Scopus Database

• The Scopus database now collects over 19,500 Journals• Including over 3,500 Arts and Humanities Journals• 2,148 Journals from Elsevier in Scopus

• Totaling over 47 million records• 70% with Abstracts

• Also includes many conference proceedings, websites and reports

Figures

• Distinctive Competencies• Distinctive if the market share - number of papers in a field of research -

is large enough (roughly around or more than 285 papers) AND meets at least one of the following:• Publication Leadership• Reference Leadership• State of the Art Leadership

• Emerging Competencies• Either strong in an emerging market OR• Institution has potential as a leader in the area
