Research Intelligence

Research intelligence is a term to capture how scholarly literature, patents, global policy documents, citation data and alternative metrics can be analysed and applied in ways to build peer reputation and raise awareness of research.

Examples include:

Discovering suitable collaborators and benchmarking against other research groups
Using impact data to strengthen funding bids
Developing publication strategies
Enhancing external and internal academic profiles to increase visibility of research
Evidencing research traction and highlighting how research has been applied

When using research metrics it is important that these are used responsibly, University of Nottingham UK is a proud signatory of DORA and the UoN UK Guiding Principles for Responsible use of Metrics in Research Assessment are designed to encapsulate current good practice and to act as a guide for future activities.

As part of the Research Intelligence service a training programme is available covering how to use the tools, enhance your online profile and use impact data.
