What we do

We advise on using publishing and citation data and alternative metrics to:

evidence your research strengths
develop your publishing strategy
explore a field by identifying key researchers, journals and institutions
explore and visualise collaboration networks
monitor and benchmark the publishing profile of your research group, Department or School.

We adhere to and advocate the University of Bath’s Principles of research assessment and management.
