FAQs
Web of Science Research Intelligence is designed for the entire research enterprise, including researchers, research administrators, librarians, and institutional leaders. It supports anyone involved in funding discovery, research analysis, collaboration, or impact assessment. By providing a shared foundation of trusted data and insights, the platform helps every role make informed, connected decisions across the research lifecycle.
Research teams face growing pressure to secure funding, strengthen performance, and demonstrate impact—but often rely on fragmented tools and disconnected data. Researchers spend valuable time searching for relevant funding, collaborators, and insights. Research offices need to identify institutional strengths and build competitive teams. Libraries are expected to deliver benchmarking and impact insights quickly, often with limited resources.
Web of Science Research Intelligence brings these workflows together in a single, integrated platform, connecting funding, research activity, performance, and societal impact insights to support faster, more informed decisions across the research community.
Web of Science Research Intelligence provides access to a comprehensive set of research outputs, including publications, patents, grants, policy documents, clinical trials, preprints, and more. Data is drawn from trusted sources such as the Web of Science Core Collection, Derwent, Cortellis, and other Clarivate datasets to deliver a connected view of research activity and impact.
AI is integrated across every layer of the solution, from metadata enhancements to intuitive analytics and conversational discovery. AI guides powered by agentic AI proactively communicate insights, produce summaries and narratives, and recommend next steps. This minimizes administrative burden so that users can concentrate on strategic decision-making rather than on manual data gathering and analysis. Example use cases include:
- A conversational AI assistant with an intuitive user experience powered by agentic AI: The solution has an intelligent interface for analytical queries designed to make research analytics and insights accessible to all users, regardless of their expertise in data analysis or research evaluation.
- Impact narratives: Demonstrating impact is about telling your story, as opposed to simply showing numbers. The AI assistant will do this for users by writing impact narratives that draw from both a societal impact framework as well as traditional publication and citation indicators.
- Chart summaries: Built-in, automated tools provide quick, easy-to-understand summaries of charts that help users quickly grasp key insights.
- Author matching: AI helps connect authors to their works and organizational units.
- Funding opportunities discovery: The platform will link emerging research topics, researcher profiles and department profiles to relevant funding opportunities
We are deeply committed to ensuring that our AI-driven features remain transparent and responsible. All narratives and results generated by our assistant are grounded in factual data retrieved from classic databases. Where possible, we provide users with the reasoning behind AI-driven insights and recommendations, allowing users to verify and understand each conclusion.
Web of Science Research Intelligence and Web of Science have the same profiles. In the future, institutions will be able to create Web of Science profiles via Web of Science Research Intelligence.
Web of Science Research Intelligence is a transformational, next-generation solution. It differs from our current funding & analytics products by offering:
- A proactive system that delivers personalized recommendations directly to users through notifications, email alerts or personalized dashboards, enabling users to stay informed about relevant opportunities within their field.
- A framework to measure societal impact alongside traditional publication and citation-based metrics, offering a holistic view of research performance.
- Conversational guides powered by generative AI enable users to gain insights and create qualitative narratives of research impact.
- A pre-populated system with comprehensive coverage of researchers across disciplines
- Team modeling capabilities that will help users find the best team to make research proposals more attractive to funding agencies, to optimize team performance and drive higher-quality research outcomes, and more.
