Enhance your research impact, boost your organization’s reputation, and enable data-driven decision-making.
Government organizations and nonprofits provide vital funding for scientific research.
But it can be a challenge to demonstrate the practical value of the programs you fund.
Traditional metrics often fall short, making it difficult to justify continued or increased funding to stakeholders who demand evidence of ROI and societal benefits. There’s often a lack of information on long-term impact, so it’s hard to make informed decisions about future funding. And unless you stay fully on top of the fast-changing research landscape, you can miss opportunities and misallocate resources – resulting in inefficient spending and poorer research outcomes.
That’s where Dimensions helps. The world’s largest linked research database joins the dots across the whole research landscape from idea to impact – including publications, data sets, awarded grants, patents records, policy documents and much more.
The integrated AI Powerful AI features and visual analytics make it easy for you to analyze this data, quickly understand how research programs have performed, and get exactly what you need to report on their impact.
