University leaders often face a significant obstacle: the inability to access comprehensive researcher activity data at scale, hindering evidence-informed decision-making. Siloed data scattered across disconnected point solutions exacerbates this issue. Moreover, the absence of indicators for the broader societal impact of research limits leaders’ ability to respond effectively to calls for research assessment reform. Our solution tackles these challenges head-on by offering institutions a single, integrated platform that provides comprehensive information on faculty research outputs, coupled with next-generation evaluation capabilities. This empowers research institutions to make informed decisions and seamlessly navigate the evolving landscape of research assessment.
AI is integrated across every layer of the solution, from metadata enhancements to intuitive analytics and conversational discovery. AI assistants powered by agentic AI will proactively communicate insights, produce summaries and narratives, and recommend next steps. This will minimize administrative burden so that users can concentrate on strategic decision-making rather than on manual data gathering and analysis. Example use cases include:
- Conversational AI assistants 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. An 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 will help 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 will be grounded in factual data retrieved from classic databases. Where possible, we plan to provide users with the reasoning behind AI-driven insights and recommendations, allowing users to verify and understand each conclusion.
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 assistants 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 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.
