Dimensions Special Instances

Securely enrich and fully leverage your data alongside Dimensions’ global data

Dimensions Special Instances allows you to securely combine Dimensions’ extensive global data with your organization’s internal data, such as grant applications, technical reports or project proposals, in one platform. Our commitment to data integration security ensures all combined datasets are encrypted and protected, allowing for safe and compliant usage across your organization.

Types of Dimensions Special Instances

We understand every organization has unique needs concerning research data management and security. That’s why we offer flexible deployment options to fit various requirements, from fully private to publicly accessible configurations.

• Fully private data integration: If you have sensitive data, such as unfunded grant applications data, we can deploy a configured version of Dimensions on an isolated private infrastructure, or on your organization’s own infrastructure, with additional security measures. This option provides secure data integration for organizations handling classified or proprietary information so that sensitive data is fully protected from external threats.
• Configured Instance: A configured version of Dimensions for a large user base, where employees can self-register for access based on email domain. A configured support portal can also be integrated if required.
• Public: A publicly available configured instance, which is frequently used to show limited data filtered to an organization. See an example.
