Thomson Reuters Launches Institutional Profiles to Analyze and Compare World's Leading Academic Research Institutions
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New Resource Supports Evidence-Based Decision Making for Administrators and
Policy Makers
Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, June 13, 2011 - Thomson Reuters, the authority on
research analytics and evidence-based decision support for more than half a
century, today announced the release of Institutional Profiles (TM), a dynamic
web-based resource that provides a comprehensive view of nearly 500 of the
world's leading academic research institutions.
Through rigorous collection, vetting, aggregation, and normalization of critical
indicators such as faculty size, number of students, academic reputation,
funding, and publication and citation data, Institutional Profiles presents a
detailed portrait of each institution's activity. These indicators enable
administrators and policy makers to reliably measure their institution's
performance and, for the first time, make international comparisons against
peers in an individual subject area or across multiple disciplines.
"Institutional Profiles supports institutions in meaningful decision making,"
said Jonathan Adams, director of research evaluation at Thomson Reuters. "The
tool presents a 360-degree view of where each institution stands and facilitates
point-by-point comparison with similar organizations around the globe, helping
those in charge evaluate outcomes and expedite strategic decisions."
Backed by comparative analysis from Thomson Reuters, Institutional Profiles uses
information collected from institutions and researchers in 47 countries to
provide an insider's view into the abilities and expertise of each institution.
Administrators can make connections between different data points, such as
research investment versus academic output, to identify areas of success or
those in need of improvement.
Key features of Institutional Profiles include:
* Research Footprint(TM), a visualization tool that facilitates instant
comparisons of performance across a wide array of indicators and subjects;
* The ability to create customized Peer Groups for continuous comparative
tracking;
* Visualization tools, including scatter plots and trend graphs, for easy
reporting
"Institutional Profiles creates a unique opportunity for administrators to
generate customized data measurements and comparisons based on their needs,"
said Keith MacGregor, executive vice president at Thomson Reuters. "All of the
data aggregated in this tool has been evaluated and normalized by Thomson
Reuters experts, empowering leaders to make strategic decisions with
confidence."
Institutional Profiles, a module within the InCites(TM) platform, is part of the
research analytics suite of solutions provided by Thomson Reuters that supports
strategic decision making and the evaluation and management of research. In
addition to InCites(TM), this suite of solutions includes consulting services,
custom studies and reports, and the recently launched Research in View(TM).
