How can my institution demonstrate research excellence?
Last updated on November 15, 2024
A number of quality metrics are available in SciVal to demonstrate research excellence at your institution.
Use highly cited publications and publications in leading Scopus sources. Two metrics often used to illustrate excellence of research are Outputs in Top Citation Percentiles and Publications in Top Journal Percentiles. These show how much of your institution’s publication output was good enough to rank among the world’s top publications.
How
Select a section below to see how to find your research excellence:
Go to the Publications tab and find the Outputs in Top Citation Percentiles section. This shows the share of your institution’s publications that are within the top 1% and top 10% of the most cited publications worldwide. As you can see in the chart above, some 18.1% of Athena University's publications were in the top 10 percentiles of the most cited publications worldwide. |
As you can see in the chart above, 42.7% of the publications at Athena University were published in the top 10 Scopus sources worldwide (measured by CiteScore Percentile). |
- Go to the Overview module and select your institution.
- The Publications in Top Journal Percentiles section shows how many of your institution’s publications were in the top 1% and 10% of the world’s Scopus sources. These top sources are selected by measuring all sources by either CiteScore, SNIP or SJR and selecting the top-ranking ones. You can toggle between CiteScore, SNIP and SJR using the dropdown menu.
See What are CiteScore, SNIP and SJR? for more information on these journal metrics. - Go to the Benchmarking module to see the Outputs in Top Percentiles and Publications in Top Journal Percentiles metrics for your institution over a longer time period (1996 to present). You also have additional metric options available here. And you can compare your institution to other institutions, or the national or global average.
SciVal Topics allow you to run a complete portfolio analysis to see which Topics your institution is currently active in, and which Topics have high momentum, those therefore more likely to be well-funded. A Topic in SciVal is a collection of Scopus publications with a common, focused, intellectual interest, clustered together using direct citation linking.
In the Overview module, you can use the “key topics” filter to see only the Topics where your institution is considered to be a key contributor. You can then demonstrate your institution’s impact by a benchmark of your institutions and researchers against those of the peer institutions also contributing to the key Topics.
