Measure what matters, decide with confidence

Confident decisions depend on a trusted foundation of diverse indicators and meaningful benchmarks. Our solutions help you assess performance, measure progress and evaluate contribution over time:

  • Build a shared evidence base so every stakeholder report draws on the same trusted, consistent data

  • Benchmark against peers that matter to your institution, using metrics that reflect how different disciplines perform

  • Track progress over time and go beyond bibliometrics to measure the full breadth of your institution's contribution

SciVal: Use connected research analytics for evidence-based decisions

See how your institution performs, define meaningful benchmarks and track progress over time. Compare against peers using field-weighted, normalized metrics and analyze the bibliometric indicators behind THE, QS and U.S. News rankings. You can also identify emerging research areas and collaboration opportunities, while showing how your work contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals and connecting you with aligned funding opportunities.

Pure: See your institution’s output in one governed record

Pure brings publications, grants, activities and researcher profiles into one governed platform, giving leaders a clear, institution-wide view of research performance. Monitor progress, spot gaps and identify strengths from a single source of truth to ensure your board paper, funder returns and national assessment submission all draw on the same trusted record.

Interfolio: Track faculty contribution — from hire to promotion

Faculty Activity Reporting centralizes data collection across teaching, research and service, auto-populating publications to give you a verified view of academic contribution. That same record feeds review and promotion cases through permission-based workflows. Lifecycle Management adds a full roster of appointments, contract terms and milestones, so you can track career progression and plan ahead.

Scopus: Ground your metrics in trusted citation and researcher data

Access field-weighted citation impact, h-index, citation percentiles and CiteScore at researcher, publication and journal level, all calculated from curated, source-neutral data. These measures give your institution a common standard for understanding research output and impact across disciplines, departments and stakeholder audiences.

Analytical Services: Add expert capacity when you need it

When you need bespoke analysis, our Analytical Services team works with you iteratively, combining expert support and high-quality data to surface critical evidence and findings that bring fresh clarity to your biggest questions.

Evaluate in the Impact Model

Evaluate helps institutions understand where they stand, assess progress and use evidence to inform decisions across the other enablers.

Alongside Strategize, Collaborate, Operate and Promote, it helps institutions consider the wider connections between their priorities, decisions and progress.

Pure positions us as a peer among leading research universities and allows anyone who is interested in our research and activities to discover us easily. The quality and transparency of research performance data allows us to clearly see not only successes, but also shortcomings – areas where additional efforts and stimuli are required to move forward with the RSU strategy.
