Early adopter program

Strategic expertise across every dimension that matters. On demand, for every institution.

We are building a new category of research analytics platform — built on the combined depth of Dimensions and Altmetric data, decades of encoded analytical expertise, and a genuine commitment to building something the research community will rely on for years to come.

Dimensions Research Strategy is the AI analytics platform built to reason through complex strategic questions the way a skilled research domain expert would — on demand, at scale, with full provenance on every finding.

Expert thinking, built in
The full picture, connected for context
The answers leaders need, without the wait
Research strategy on your own terms
Full provenance for findings leaders can defend

Ask a question, interrogate the answer, and iterate on new lines of enquiry — the analysis evolves along with your thinking, with every finding traceable back to its source.

Express your interest in the Early Adopter Program

The Early Adopter Program opens in July 2026. If your institution would like to be considered for the founding cohort, please complete the form below. A member of the Digital Science team will be in touch.

Some institutions will shape the future of research analytics. Others will adopt it later.

The Early Adopter Program is for the ones who want to be first.

From July 2026, a founding cohort of institutions will be among the first in the world to access Dimensions Research Strategy — at a moment when their feedback still shapes where it goes next.

This is not just early access to a new tool: it is a founding partnership in a new product category.

As a founding Early Adopter, institutions will receive:

Access to the platform ahead of general availability
Founding partner pricing: a genuinely meaningful discount that reflects your early commitment
Continued roadmap influence: your use cases stay prioritised as the platform grows
A named account contact and priority support throughout

Two use cases. One research strategy workflow.

Benchmarking
Define the research areas and peer groups that matter — the institutions actually competing for the same talent, funding and impact — then reason through a multi-dimensional comparison across research output, citation impact, collaboration reach, funding competitiveness and societal engagement. Benchmarking that tells you where to focus, not just where you rank.

Expertise
Understanding who is working in a specific research area — at your institution, at peer institutions, or across the global landscape — currently takes days of manual work. Dimensions Research Strategy surfaces that picture in a single session: researcher profiles across outputs, collaboration networks, field standing and real-world impact. The insights inform your process, while the decisions remain with you.

A founding cohort. A founding moment.

The institutions that join now are not simply early users of a new tool: they are the founding partners of a new product category.

This is the point where feedback still shapes what gets built next.

Founding partnership is a two-way relationship.

Early Adopter institutions are expected to:

Actively engage with the platform and its use cases
Participate in regular scheduled feedback sessions
Be open to speaking publicly about their experience

A note on pricing:

The founding partner discount is meaningful and reflects genuine early commitment. The 24-month price lock means your Year 1 rate is guaranteed, and Year 2 is capped, with no upfront commitment required beyond Year 1. General availability pricing applies to new customers after the Early Adopter phase closes.
