3 - Scopus Literature Database - SciVal Experts - SciVal Funding - SciVal Spotlight Elsevier’s SciVal Suite & Scopus

4 Scopus Literature Database On campus trial (not yet linked to all full text sources): http://www.scopus.com/home.urlhttp://www.scopus.com/home.url

5 Scopus Coverage by Discipline Data: 9,300 vs 17,300 Titles Nearest Competitor Scopus Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences Humanities & creative arts Engineering & environmental Sciences Social, Behavioural & Economic Sciences 0 2500 5000 Mathematics, Information & Communication Sciences Biological Sciences and Biotechnology Biomedical & Clinical Research Public and Allied Health and Health Services

6 Similar Experts: Displays similar scholars from the same institution. The scholars’ names are provided by the institution. Subject area matching is done by the SciVal Experts’ system. Publications/Journals: These lists are built from the Scopus citation database. “Fingerprinting” technology is employed to ensure the match between scholar name and publication titles is accurate. Networks: Lists both internal departments/organizations, and external institutions that are connected to this expert. Also displays scholars who have coauthored articles (regardless of affiliation). Directory Entry: Names of scholars, along with their affiliations, and contact information are supplied by the institution. At the University of Minnesota, this information will be supplied from the UMN Data Warehouse. Photos will not be included or sent to Elsevier. Trends/Research Network: Graphical displays of the research concepts and coauthors/collaborators that have been most significantly present over this researcher's career. Grants/Patents: Lists funded research that has been awarded to this scholar. Data is both supplied by the institution and harvested from public sources. Patent awards can also be displayed here.

7 Aggregating individual fingerprints across organizational units allows for the organization to know what individuals know and what groups know together… DepartmentInstitute Research Group What new publications and grants have been produced? What trends have emerged over time? Who is working together? With what other organizations (internal and external) are we collaborating? What do we know? Individual Fingerprints Aggregated Fingerprints 7 SciVal Experts: Aggregating Fingerprints
