Going big on nanotechnology

Demonstrating our competencies with research data is fundamental for enticing users into our research intelligence ecosystem. Creating marketing material with visually-rich insights into an emerging research area can help attract new audiences and direct online traffic towards the Nature Research Intelligence microsite.

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.

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.

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 equip 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.

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.
