The Overview module gives you a comprehensive research performance summary of any desired research entity such as institutions, countries, researchers, etc.
The Overview module provides you a quick summary of the research performance of an entity. Click the buttons below to learn about how to set up a module:
An entity is "anything that can be viewed in SciVal in terms of academic performance". You can use the entity selection panel on the left to select your entity of interest from:
Institutions and Groups
For Lingnan users, "Lingnan University" is the default institution to be shown
Researchers and Groups
Researchers can export their author profiles from Scopus to SciVal to evaluate their author metrics in SciVal
Publication Sets
Countries, Regions and Groups
Topics and Topic Clusters
Research Areas
Scopus Sources
If the entity you want is not listed, click on the search bar (with the icon) to search for your desired entity, and then click on it to add it onto your panel. |
In SciVal, there are thousands of pre-defined entities e.g. countries, institutions, and research topics, etc. However, some entities such as researchers, research teams and publication sets are not pre-defined, you will need to define you own entities in order to view the metrics for them. You can define your own entity for:
Researchers / groups of researchers
Publication sets
Groups of institutions
Groups of countries
Using the entity selection panel...

You can view the publication data for a period of three, five or ten years. Click on the date period under the entity name to select the year range.
You can also select a specific subject area to narrow the results to a specific discipline. If you cannot find a suitable one from the suggested list, you can define a new Research Area and use it as a subject area filter.
After setting up the module, you can then navigate through different metric themes' tabs to get the selected entity's research performance summary in terms of publications, citations, collaborations, and competencies, etc.
