Fostering Collaboration
In today’s competitive environment, institutions must increasingly
demonstrate the value and impact of their research. Collaboration,
both cross-institutional and with industry partners, not only
increases researcher and institutional visibility; research has shown
that institutions with more partners, and those with more diverse
collaborations, have higher citation rates.1 The rich functionality of
the Elsevier Research Intelligence portfolio helps you quickly identify
expert collaborators from across disciplines, thus facilitating more
effective and productive partnerships.
Powered by data from Scopus®, the world’s largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature,
and the Elsevier Fingerprint Engine™, the Elsevier Research Intelligence portfolio allows you to:
• Identify current and discover potential collaborators
• Provide data-driven analysis of collaborative behavior and impact
• Deliver insight into how institutions can facilitate more powerful collaborations
®
Relevant, accurate search results are an essential first step
to uncovering trends, discovering sources and collaborators,
and building further insights.
Scopus® creates unique identifiers for each author and
institutional affiliation to distinguish between researchers
with similar names, and links IDs to publications – ensuring
quick and seamless discovery of the content you need to
jump-start your research.
The Elsevier Fingerprint Engine™ mines the text of a range of
scientific documents – from publication abstracts and proposals
to funding announcements, awards, and patents – to create a
Fingerprint™ index of key weighted terms and concepts for
a single text.
By aggregating, comparing, and searching across Fingerprints
of people, publications, funding opportunities and ideas, the
Elsevier Fingerprint Engine™ reveals insightful connections
with practical applications.

“…society’s problems do not
fit neatly into the University’s
departmental grid, nor are they
rapidly divisible into subproblems…
interdisciplinary research teams can
readily respond to multi-discipline,
problem-oriented research and
public service opportunities.”
