Info solutions support research excellence Availability of online articles increases research output, e.g. via ScienceDirect or Scopus, books and backfiles In line with the neighbour countries But citations and Impact up to 50% behind peer-group on country size Output • Three universities ranked on international level • But only 10% of referring peer countries Making experts visible increases rankings, e.g. ExpertProfiling , ShowCases (Collexis) Recognition • Good performance compared to output and recognition • But R&D spend comparably low Identifying research partners and focusing on areas of excellence, e.g. SciVal Funding
