SciVal offers quick, easy access to the research performance of 220 nations and
7500 research institutions worldwide. You can easily create teams, departments,
and specific research topics, and evaluate them.
SciVal is an online tool for evaluating research.
Data updated weekly from Scopus (same data source as the University Rankings use
and used in many studies about research performance)

The data in SciVal comes from Scopus
Over 21,900 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers and 105
different countries
Over 54 million records, 23 million patents from 5 patent offices worldwide
All content is vigorously vetted by an independent, 15-person, international
board of experts called the Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB)
More than 3,000 customers worldwide in all geographic regions
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed
research literature from around the world. Its the core data source of
Elsevier Research Intelligence solutions, and used by academics,
government researchers and corporate R&D professionals who need a
comprehensive and efficient place to search, discover and analyze research.

We start with the authors for who you do not know the
profile, or have more than one profile in Scopus
![Page 24: SciVal - rdo.psu.ac.thrdo.psu.ac.th/th/images/D3/PR-news/2559/Activity/PSU_SciVal.pdf · SciVal offers quick, easy access to the research performance of 220 nations and 7500 research](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071009/5fc69e0f2831fc2e42188cff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Go to My SciVal and “Define a new Researcher”

Do this only for the authors who have more than one
Scopus Author ID!!
add the Scopus
author ID field
twice
Fill in the
Author IDs
of one
author
If you do not
know the profile
number, then
search by name
![Page 26: SciVal - rdo.psu.ac.thrdo.psu.ac.th/th/images/D3/PR-news/2559/Activity/PSU_SciVal.pdf · SciVal offers quick, easy access to the research performance of 220 nations and 7500 research](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071009/5fc69e0f2831fc2e42188cff/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

SciVal will ask you to confirm merging of profiles, in
cases where one researcher has more than one profile.
You can save the
researcher, or
validate the
publications first

Add a tag to the researcher indicating which
department he/she belongs to
Here I added a tag, so that
once there are hundreds of
researchers in SciVal, each
one is clearly tagged.

The researchers with one Scopus Author ID can be
bulk imported into SciVal
You can paste the
author IDs belonging
to one department in
the box. Past just the
ID, not the author name etc.

SciVal will show you if any Author ID is not found
If an author ID is not
found, then you
should search for
this author manually
by name in SciVal.

Now that you have customized SciVal – you can
explore and analyze using SciVal
Overview module
provides dashboard
style reports based on a
3 or 5 year period. You
can analyze countries,
institutions, any
researcher, group of
researchers and
research areas you
have created. It gives a
comprehensive
overview of one entity at
a time.
Benchmarking module is
flexible, it allows you to
select a time period
anywhere from 1996 to
one month ago. You can
choose from over 17
metrics, and compare
across different types of
entities (i.e. you directly
can compare researchers
with departments,
institutions, countries in
one analysis)
Collaboration module
looks at specifically at co-
publication trends. It
allows you to identify the
top collaboration partners
of an institution or
country, as well as
identify potential
collaboration partners.
Research areas can be
applied here as a subject
filter.

When making comparisons, we must take into
consideration “Non-performance variables”
Size
Discipline
Publication-type
Database coverage
Manipulation
Time
In some cases the difference in a metric value between two entities
(authors for example) might not reflect a difference in performance.
Instead the difference can be caused by non-performance variables.

Publications types receive differing levels of citations
Because some publication types are cited more often than others, we
should not compare different types without applying normalization.

Citation practices differ between disciplines
Because some subject areas are cited more often than others, we should
not compare papers from different fields without applying normalization.

Size and Time
Citation count is
directly related to
volume
CPP normalizes for
differences in
publication volume
FWCI normalizes for
subject area,
document type, and
time
Do you think the declining
trend is indicative of a decrease in quality or is it
caused by a non-
performance variable?
