COVID-19 resources
We are making all COVID-19 relevant records from Dimensions available - as a dataset on BigQuery to work with and as an interactive dashboard showing COVID-19 related funding, publications and clinical trials.
Free access for scientometric research
We believe metrics and indicators used to assess the impact of research and future funding should be owned by the research community.
Our hope is that these resources will fuel innovative methods to assess the impact and management of research in research organizations.
