Defining Publication Sets

A Publication Set is a static set of up to 200k documents. It allows for deep analysis of a specific research area, and being static provides a consistent snapshot enabling comparisons over time. You can define it by importing a set of publications, using a sub set of your saved Researcher publications or using the Save as option when looking at any set of documents in SciVal.

1. Define a Publication Set using the Save as Publication Set option

   1. Click on a publication link in SciVal, for example the "View list of publications" link on the Summary page
   2. Refine the publication list using the filters on the left side, so that there are less than 100k publications
   3. Click Save as Publication Set
   4. Name, tag and create the Publication Set

Create bespoke Publication Sets representing strategic priority areas or for scenario modeling.

1. Importing Publication Sets:

   1. Import Publication Sets

      • Click Import Publication Set in ‘Define entity’ section
      • Select ID format for your Publications of interest from one of the following:

        • Scopus EID Unique identifier assigned to all Scopus records
        • PubMed ID Unique identifier assigned to PubMed records
        • DOI (Digital Object Identifier) Persistent identifier managed by the International DOI Foundation for use on digital networks
   2. Paste IDs or create and upload a text file (ANSI format) containing up to 50,000 publication IDs, one per line, and follow the workflow to upload the file
   3. Confirm publications and save
2. Define a Publication Set from a subset of any Researcher’s publications:

   1. Create a new Publication Set

      • Click Publication Set (based on Researchers) in ‘Define entity’ section 
        Note: You need to have pre-or self-defined researchers added to your entity selection panel to activate this menu
   2. Select Researcher(s) of interest
   3. Select the required publications
   4. Save Publication Set after adding a name and tags, if required
