Dimensions Research Strategy answers the strategic questions research leaders are asked every day — directly, on demand, with a source behind every finding.
Every institution needs to know how it’s doing, where it could improve, and how it compares with others. But getting a reliable answer usually means weeks of manual work: pulling data from systems that were never designed to fit together, building a peer group from scratch, and hoping whoever reviews it has time to check it properly.
Dimensions Research Strategy changes that. It’s an agentic AI platform that reasons through these questions the way a skilled analyst would — built from decades of Digital Science’s own analytical expertise, not a general AI model pointed at some data — and gives a defensible answer in a fraction of the time.
Just some of what you can do with Dimensions Research Strategy…
- Benchmark against the right peers.
Not a fixed list nobody’s reviewed in years — Dimensions Research Strategy helps identify who an institution should actually be compared to, and why. - See the connections that matter.
It reasons across publications, funding, patents, clinical trials, policy and real-world attention together, in a single session, so the insight comes from how they connect, not just the raw counts. - Get an answer that can be defended.
Every finding traces back to its source, so it can be reproduced and stood behind when challenged by a board, a funder, or a peer. - Skip the weeks of manual work.
Analysis that used to take a specialist team weeks to produce comes back in a single session. - Bring this level of analysis within reach
Regardless of an institution’s size or budget, and without replacing the analysts who know the data best.
Armed with these insights, you can:
- Make confident, evidence-based strategic decisions
- Defend your institution’s position to leadership, boards and funders
- Free up analyst time for the work only they can do
- Access this depth of analysis regardless of your institution’s size
“We recently added an analyst to the team and having someone who can make sense of all sorts of random bits of information has given us a capability we just haven’t had before. I’m an avid consumer of this kind of work, but I don’t do the analysis myself — and honestly, I couldn’t, even if I had the time. I’m really interested to see what this could become as part of the wider ecosystem Digital Science provides, and how it could put this kind of insight in front of far more people — without ever replacing the analysts who really know the data.”
