Researchers and administrators throughout Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZ Jülich) will have access to advanced analytical insights for over 128 million grants, clinical trials, publications and patents thanks to a new partnership with Dimensions from Digital Science.
Launched in January 2018, Dimensions enables users to search and filter over $1.3tn of funded grants, over 360,000 clinical trials, 90 million publications and 34 million patents. The data can be exported or further analyzed within the platform, and users can compare the academic and broader impacts of a research item utilizing extensive citation and altmetrics data.
Developed in partnership with over 100 leading research organizations around the world, Dimensions is a first-of-its-kind solution. It surfaces over 4 billion connections between content types, linking different stages of the research lifecycle and making it much easier for users to gather the insights necessary to most effectively guide future research activities.
Speaking about the adoption of Dimensions, Dr Bernhard Mittermaier, Library Director at FZ Jülich said, “Dimensions’ comprehensive scope and advanced functionality means that our users will not only be able to save time, but also to gather useful information that was previously inaccessible to them. We’ve been hugely impressed with both the wide range of data and the responsiveness of the Digital Science team, and look forward to realizing the full potential of this exciting new tool.”
Digital Science Dimensions Lead Christian Herzog adds, “Providing institutions access to this valuable data in an affordable way is a core part of what we wanted to achieve with the development of Dimensions. FZ Jülich have long been recognized as a world-class research organization, and in adopting Dimensions they once again demonstrate their commitment to excelling on a global scale.”
