For universities & research offices
Benchmark, identify partnerships, and understand your research landscape
Analysis of your institutions research landscape and of the global research ecosystem. See exactly where you stand and what to do next.
The Challenge
You can't see the full-picture
Without a full view of your research landscape, from broad research domains down to niche, research specialisms, you can't tell which fields are lifting you and which are holding you back.
Identifying better partnerships
Research collaboration is often driven by existing networks and relationships, but what if it could be more strategic? Data-led insights could provide clearer pathways to stronger collaboration and more meaningful research impact.
How We Help
Research landscape positioning
Benchmark every research subject and specialism against peer institutions to focus effort where it moves your research impact.
Evidence-led partnerships
Diagnose collaborations before you invest, and prioritise the ones most likely to raise your research impact.
Features Built for This
Compare
Compare puts your university's research impact side by side with the benchmarks that matter - your country, your region, and the global average - across researchers and research themes, year-on-year. See exactly where you lead, where you're closing the gap, and where to focus next.
Partnerships
Partnership analysis that models co-authorship history, subject overlap, and citation lift between two institutions, so you can prioritise the partnerships most likely to raise research impact.
Reports
Reports transform platform analytics into professional, shareable documents, complete with citations and evidence-based insights. Ready for internal and external use, reports help research leaders communicate performance, demonstrate impact, and support decision-making for management, funders, policymakers and other stakeholders.
SDGs
Compare puts your university's SDG-aligned research impact benchmarked against global peers. Understand your institutions contributions towards global challenges, and identify collaboration opportunities to increase reach and impact.

Researchers
Explore researcher impact and find collaborators to strengthen your research output. Filter by division, subject, country, and Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) to build partnerships that measurably lift impact.
Networks
Reveal network collaboration patterns that shape research success. Identify influential partners, uncover untapped connections, and strengthen networks that accelerate research performance and impact.
Funders
Reveal how funding drives research excellence worldwide - mapping funder-research collaborations to help governments and institutions target grants, inform policy, and maximise research impact.
League Tables
League Tables turn raw bibliometrics into ranked, comparable views across institutions and fields. See exactly where you lead, where you trail, and which subjects to move the needle on to improve research impact.
