Presentation by Matthew Buys, Thomson Reuters, at the SARIMA Workshop, 11 May 2015, Johannesburg, SA

1. Introducing
Web
of
Science
Profiles

2. Web
of
Science
Profiles:
Objec3ves
• Facilitate
repor9ng
on
the
ins9tu9on’s
complete
set
of
research
outputs
on
all
internal
organisa9onal
levels
and
dimensions
• Enable
feedback
loops
to
facilitate
sharing
and
reuse
across
the
digital
ecosystem
of
research
informa9on
…
by
semi-­‐automa9cally
crea9ng
and
maintaining
profiles
on
the
researchers
in
a
shared
environment.

3. Na3onal
mul3-­‐tenant
implementa3on
• Render
the
whole
na9on’s
researchers
and
their
ac9vi9es
and
results
publicly
accessible
(incl.
feedback
loops)
• Enable
all
researchers
to
get
an
ORCID
ID,
which
can
be
used
in
a
broader
na9onal
context
• Make
repor9ng
on
all
ins9tu9ons,
the
whole
country
or
any
other
dimensions
included
(e.g.
research
fields)
• Reduce
manual
workload
and
administra9ve
burdens
as
informa9on
can
be
reused
through
integra9on
with
external
and
internal
sources
• Get
a
Grants
Management
System
(if
there
is
for
example
one
or
several
funders
in
Kenya
that
need
a
new
system),
which
would
enable
everyone
in
the
country
to
reuse
their
data
in
Converis
directly
for
their
grant
applica9ons.

4. Discovery
55+ million records from the
most high impact peer-
reviewed journals for
discovery.
Management of the full research lifecycle
Workflows, reports, integrations, fully configurable to meet
individual needs.
International benchmarking
– the outside view
Analytics and benchmarking
of countries, institutions,
people and subject areas,
incl. rankings and
collaborations.

5. What is ‘Web of Science Profiles’?
• Pre-Population: Thomson Reuters provides a set of articles from 2004- current to allow the
customer to get started
• Continuous population: New records are added (semi-)automatically and related to the
internal authors and org units.
• Feedback Loop: Amendments are sent back to enrich and correct the Web of Science
Integrated with Web of Science Data
• Connectivity: with external and internal sources, use of standards (Orcid, CERIF, Casrai,
Vivo)
• Reporting: Exports, CVs, Standard Reports, Dynamic Reports
• Workflow: Validations, Approvals, Communication between Users
Built on Converis technology
• Metrics: Article and Author level metrics
• Tiles: Use of tiles for individual dashboards
• Integration: Seamless navigation and data exchange
Analytics from InCites
Web of Science Profiles provides customers with the internal view of their
institution’s publications and performance, including department and author
metrics. It allows an organization to create, curate, and maintain a view of
their organization’s comprehensive research output, with reporting tailored to
the department and researcher level.

6. Web of Science Profiles in short
• Prepopulated with the WoS data matched with your
internal HR data (org units, people, work affiliations)
• Bringing the InCites Analytics to the internal view of the
organisation:
– Connecting the WoS data to the individual authors and
departments (and a lot more, incl. groups, areas, …)
• As the records get enriched and corrected, this will feed
back to the WoS
• Enabling reuse across institutions
