A new service has been launched to help researchers build the reputation and awareness of their research.

To support the goal of the ‘Reputation and Influence’ strand of the university’s Research Strategic Delivery Plan, to build our reputation for nationally and internationally significant research, a new Research Intelligence service from University of Nottingham Libraries is now available for all researchers and research-enabling staff.

What is the Research Intelligence service?

The service will support researchers to build peer reputation and raise awareness of their work. Using scholarly literature, patents, global policy documents, citation data and alternative metrics the service will help researchers to:

• discover suitable collaborators and benchmark against other research groups
• use impact data to strengthen funding bids
• develop publication strategies
• enhance external and internal academic profiles to increase visibility of research
• evidence research traction and tell the story of how research has been applied

Libraries’ Research Intelligence service offers training and advice to help researchers with these activities, underpinned with advocacy and guidance on the responsible use of citation, journal metrics and societal impact data and the tools that generate them.

Training programme

A training programme is in place to help researchers get the most out of the research intelligence tools available at the university. Visit Central Short Courses site to book your place.
