Going big on nanotechnology
This project was undertaken to support an online marketing campaign highlighting the increase in research into nanotechnology in recent years.
Using Nature Index data from 2015 to 2021, visualisations were used to highlight the significant research growth experienced in the field of nanotechnology, revealing the leading institutions publishing in this landscape. The data analysis concludes with a view of high-profile collaborations on nanotechnology research at a country and entity level.

How AI can refine your SDG Research Strategy
This project was undertaken to support attendance at the 2023 INORMS (The International Network of Research Management Societies) Congress in June 2023.
Using the Dimensions database to draw out climate action publications over a ten-year period, the data analysis uncovered the leading fields of research (FoR) based on research productivity and relative citation ratio metrics, an international spread of climate action research and a dynamic ranking of the key funders for climate action research projects.

Experimental Visualisations Proof-of-Concept
Analysing Citation Topic Trends to identify growth opportunities for Springer Nature
Understanding subject trends in the market can enable us to identify growth opportunities for Springer Nature. Topics that have reached a certain volume of publications, are growing and where we lag in market share are areas of opportunity, for example for topical collections or journal launches.
Back in late 2023 we added citation topics developed by the Core Data Science team to the Article Market Tracker to provide an additional route for users to look at subject trends in the article market. We have performed our own analysis of this data, as a proof-of-concept work to equips us with data-driven insights to:
- Identify emerging research areas where we can improve our presence.
- Allocate resources more effectively to growing topics
- Develop targeted strategies where a focus could yield significant benefits
- Benchmark our performance against competitors and industry trends.
We have selected and analysed 11 citation topics out of 1,418 level 3 citation topics using publication data from the Article Market Tracker dataset. The topics selected met three criteria:
- The topics demonstrated growth in the overall market over the past five years
- Topics have reached a minimum size, based on the volume being greater than 0.01% of the total number of articles published.
- Growth in the number of articles published by Springer Nature in these areas is not on par with the broader market trends.
Summary Report
The Management of River Water: Politician's Report
NRI were asked to produce a client-facing project that
highlighted water management research in the EU, presenting
the initiatives being taken to improve the quality of river
water across a selection of the highest performing river
basins in Europe. The project's summary report
(‘politician’s report’) discussed here condenses the
project’s full technical report (‘expert report’) into key
project insights and recommendations for consideration by
decision makers.
This shorter report was enriched by carefully curated
data visualisations, helping readers to quickly digest a
breadth of data points and gain insights into the publishing
trends, key actors and grant funding flows of water
management research in the EU, along with subject and
geographic classifications of the project case studies.
