InCites is a web-based research evaluation tool designed to track trends on the field, country, and institution level, to enable detailed bibliometric analysis and reporting on the publications important to you.

All metrics and analyses can be performed on any subset of the data An entire institution One researcher Group of researchers (e.g. a department) Field of research within your institution Topic of research within your institution A collaboration partnership within your institution Funding 19

Contextualization of citation counts, benchmarking Small number of Publications/Citations, but strong impact Discover influential, emerging researchers & trends Small number of Publications/Citations, but strong impact Discover influential, emerging researchers & trends Identify areas for growth and investment Research Performance Profiles 1

Multiple indicators = Multiple angles Multiple answers to multiple very specific Key questions Our indicators are transparent, simple, reproducible, powerful. Research Performance Profiles 1

Who are our most productive and influential researchers? You can generate a summary of all metrics related to one researcher papers, or any other group of publications. Metrics such as the self citation levels and the collaborations give us a very granular insight into someone’s publications Research Performance Profiles 1

23 Which collaboration is leading to research with the greatest impact? Research Performance Profiles 1

In which field are we publishing the most? In which field do we have the strongest average impact? In which field(s) are we better than our peers? In which field are we publishing the most? In which field do we have the strongest average impact? In which field(s) are we better than our peers? How can we identify our strengths and weaknesses in different disciplines? « Peers » = researchers/institutions/countries publishing the same type of documents, at the same time, and in the same field

Where is our research funding coming from? Are these funding generating good impact?
