Dimensions helps academic research leaders uncover the strategic insights they need to shape a successful future
To lead your academic institution to success, you need a clear sense of how it’s doing, where it could improve and how it compares with others.
But universities often lack comprehensive, institution-wide research data, as well as the technical ability to turn data into actionable analysis.
And amid shifting priorities and an increasingly complex research landscape, it’s hard for university and research leaders to see the big picture, compare themselves to their peers, build its reputation and make evidence-based decisions.
And that makes it a huge challenge to develop an effective research strategy.
But Dimensions solves this problem. 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.
It’s quick and easy to find and evaluate the data you need, thanks to the integrated AI and easy-to-grasp visualizations. So you can speed up your decision-making and root your research strategy in rich insights.
