Overview
Setting research priorities means understanding where funding is going, how fields are developing and where your institution’s expertise fits. Publications and citations offer part of that picture. Grants, patents, clinical trials and broader engagement provide further context for planning.
Join Shane Jackson, Product Specialist for Dimensions and Altmetric at Digital Science, for a demonstration of how to explore these connections and use them to inform research strategy.
Starting with European Commission grant funding, Shane will focus on a research area and examine the activity around it. He’ll demonstrate how Dimensions can help identify leading researchers, organisations and funders, and explore related publications, patents and clinical trials.
He’ll then move into Altmetric to examine how research in that area is being discussed and referenced beyond academia.
What you’ll learn
- Explore funding trends to identify research areas attracting increased investment.
- Examine publications, patents and clinical trials to understand activity within a field.
- Identify leading researchers, organisations and funders, and explore citation performance.
- Use Altmetric to add context about research attention and engagement beyond academia.
- Bring these findings into discussions about institutional priorities and potential collaborations.
Who should attend
Research leaders, strategy and planning teams, research development professionals, librarians, and colleagues working in research evaluation or impact.
