This helps to identify the strengths of University and its expert areas, and it is also possible to find data on international cooperation and partnerships in these expert areas. This is useful for strategic planning and identifying the future research directions of scientists and University as a whole.
University can identify the key publications that attract the attention of the world scientific community and form strategies to promote scientific research. SciVal provides real-time information, which allows University to quickly respond to changes in the scientific environment and quickly adapt its strategies.
