Define Researchers and Groups

Defining researchers and groups through intuitive workflows ensures all of their publications are accurately linked to their profiles, which is a necessary step before conducting any analysis in SciVal.

1. Define a new Researcher

   • Select Researcher in the ‘Define entity’ link on the top panel, or select Researcher in the ‘Define entity’ link at the bottom of the entity panel on the left
   • Follow the workflow to identify and add the 
     researcher to SciVal
2. Import Researchers

   • In the ‘Define entity’ link click ̒Import Researchers’
   • Use the XLS, CSV or JSON templates, a text file, or paste a list of Scopus author IDs or ORCIDs (up to 1,000)
   • Refine profiles where required
   • Add profiles to a new Group or existing hierarchy
3. Define new Group of Researchers

   • Drag and drop any of your self-defined Researchers into one or more Groups
   • Or you can select a number of authors and drag and drop them in to the Entity panel, which converts them to Researchers
4. Select from tables
