SciVal is a tool based on data from the literature database Scopus. It provides access to the "research performance of over 20,000 research institutions and their associated researchers from 230 nations worldwide. SciVal allows you to visualize your research performance, benchmark relative to peers, develop strategic partnerships, identify and analyze new, emerging research trends, and create uniquely tailored reports." [quote from SciVal Features site linked below]
USask users can access SciVal through the link below (with NSID & password), but will also need to create an individual account with Elsevier. See access instructions in the box on the right.
"This guide is designed to help those who use SciVal to source and apply bibliometrics in academic institutions. It was originally devised in February 2018 by Dr Ian Rowlands of King’s College London as a guide for his university, which makes SciVal widely available to its staff. King’s does this because it believes that bibliometric data are best used in context by specialists in the field."
