  1. SciVal Spotlight An alternative way of looking at research performance, based on citation patterns (co-citation analysis) rather than traditional journal classifications. Publication data for presentation provided by SciVal Spotlight ™ database, Elsevier B.V., http://www.spotlight.scival.com (downloaded November 2012).

  2. Why SciVal? WSU’s Office of Research response to: Weak U.S. economy End of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act WSU’s Office of Research need to analyze our distinctive and emerging strengths to help determine resource allocations

  3. Spotlight Analysis Helps Analyze… WSU’s strongest Subject Areas How interdisciplinary (or not) WSU is, and how we compare to our peers Who are our publication and citation leaders? How do we compare with our peers? Who we are/should be collaborating with

  4. Scopus Database Spotlight mines data from the Elsevier Scopus Database The worlds largest abstract and citation database of peer reviewed literature and quality web sources Based on co-citation impact So how does Spotlight mine and classify data? Co-Citation Analysis and “Article Clusters”

  5. Figures The Scopus database now collects over 19,500 Journals Including over 3,500 Arts and Humanities Journals 2,148 Journals from Elsevier in Scopus Totaling over 47 million records 70% with Abstracts Also includes many conference proceedings, websites and reports

  6. Competencies Defined Distinctive Competencies Distinctive if the market share - number of papers in a field of research - is large enough (roughly around or more than 285 papers) AND meets at least one of the following: Publication Leadership Reference Leadership State of the Art Leadership Emerging Competencies Either strong in an emerging market OR Institution has potential as a leader in the area

  7. Explore Competencies Circle View Circular display of Competencies Matrix View Grid display of Competencies
