Thomson Reuters Corporation: Drexel University Implements Evidence-Based Assessment Strategy through Thomson Reuters Partnership
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Two solutions power new initiative to help faculty identify research
collaborators and administrators for professional recognition
PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 23, 2012- The IP & Science business of Thomson
Reuters, the world's leading provider of intelligent information for businesses
and professionals, is partnering with Drexel University, an institution widely
recognized for its focus on experiential learning, to provide an innovative
solution to help the university make informed decisions about its productivity
and benchmark status, scholarship and performance.
Thomson Reuters and Drexel University will collaborate to launch the Faculty
Portfolios project using two offerings from the Thomson Reuters Research
Analytics suite - Research In View(TM )and InCites(TM). These solutions allow
Drexel University to access comprehensive data related to scholarly research and
subsequently identify, manage and promote faculty research and academic work.
Faculty can build and maintain profiles of their service, teaching, and research
expertise, giving administrators a complete picture of the university's
intellectual assets and enabling them to highlight the full scope of their
scholarly contributions. These tools will also allow administrators to compare
research output - at the individual, department or school level with that of
other universities using comparative benchmarks.
The Faculty Portfolios system will be launched in early 2013.
"We have been looking for an easy solution to enable our faculty to identify
local and global research collaborators and for our administrators to honor
faculty professional activities and accomplishments as part of Drexel
University's commitment to fostering scholarship and creative work," said Drexel
University Provost Mark Greenberg. "The tools Thomson Reuters developed are
critical to our strategy for evidence-based assessment and tracking our impact
in solving important social problems through practical research. We are excited
to have Thomson Reuters as a partner and are working with experts in information
technologies and services from across the campus to implement this new service."
The relationship leverages the unique expertise of Thomson Reuters with Drexel's
evidence-based assessment approach and Drexel Libraries' innovative services to
support university research activities and performance. The Drexel Provost's
Office will utilize purpose-generated reports in reviews of academic programs,
as well as in annual faculty reviews.
"Drexel University, as many other leading research institutions, must assemble
an overwhelming amount of data about the scholarly and creative endeavors of its
community. The ability to manage data on scholarship, faculty and research means
higher efficiency, higher productivity and the opportunity to see the
institution's collective strengths from a big-picture perspective," said Keith
MacGregor, executive vice president at Thomson Reuters. "With greater clarity on
its intellectual assets, Drexel University has the resources to focus on making
strategic decisions."
Thomson Reuters Research Analytics helps organizations better understand their
research activities, enabling programs to attract top researchers, secure
funding, facilitate collaborations, benchmark against peers and allocate
resources. The most relevant data points, indicators and technology are
available through the services developed by Research Analytics, with a scalable,
global team of experts able to provide meaningful interpretations and
recommendations.
