SciVal is useful for analysing and benchmarking research performance at the levels of individual researchers, research groups, institutions and countries.
Scopus is the data source used in SciVal.
SciVal consists of five modules:
- Overview: presents high-level pre-defined analyses of the research performance of JCU in relation to other institutions, countries and groups of researchers.
- Benchmarking: create your groups based on institutions, researchers, publications, countries or research areas to benchmark research performance using a variety of metrics, including the metrics in this LibGuide.
- Collaboration: identify and analyze existing and potential collaboration opportunities, and see who others are collaborating with.
- Trends: analyze research areas to find current scientific trends and spot growing or declining topics in a field, collaboration opportunities and rising stars.
- Reporting: customise reports for specific purposes.
Groups of JCU researchers have been created within SciVal that will be useful for you to benchmark your research. The groups include each of the following:
- each College
- each Research Centre
- Academic Levels for researchers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) and HASS (Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences) disciplines.
