Fostering Collaboration

1 Fostering Collaboration

2 In today s competitive environment, institutions must increasingly demonstrate the value and impact of their research. Collaboration, both cross-institutional and with industry partners, not only increases researcher and institutional visibility; research has shown that institutions with more partners, and those with more diverse collaborations, have higher citation rates. 1 The rich functionality of the Elsevier Research Intelligence portfolio helps you quickly identify expert collaborators from across disciplines, thus facilitating more effective and productive partnerships. Powered by data from Scopus, the world s largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, and the Elsevier Fingerprint Engine, the Elsevier Research Intelligence portfolio allows you to: Identify current and discover potential collaborators Provide data-driven analysis of collaborative behavior and impact Deliver insight into how institutions can facilitate more powerful collaborations Relevant, accurate search results are an essential first step to uncovering trends, discovering sources and collaborators, and building further insights. Scopus creates unique identifiers for each author and institutional affiliation to distinguish between researchers with similar names, and links IDs to publications ensuring quick and seamless discovery of the content you need to jump-start your research. The Elsevier Fingerprint Engine mines the text of a range of scientific documents from publication abstracts and proposals to funding announcements, awards, and patents to create a Fingerprint index of key weighted terms and concepts for a single text. By aggregating, comparing, and searching across Fingerprints of people, publications, funding opportunities and ideas, the Elsevier Fingerprint Engine reveals insightful connections with practical applications. 1 Bordons, M., Aparicio, J., & Costas, R.
