E
lsevier, the global information
analytics business specialising in
science and health, announced its
agreement with the Polish Universities
Consortia Leader, Interdisciplinary Centre
for Mathematical and Computational
Modelling (IMC), to provide nation-wide
university access to SciVal, Elsevier’s
analytics solution to track and measure
research performance.
Access to SciVal will enable university
leaders and managers across Polish
universities to analyse and visualise
bibliometric research data for 8,500
research institutions across 220 nations.
This supports them in their strategic
planning, research assessment reviews
and allows for tracking research
performance and comparing with other
institutions worldwide.
SciVal runs primarily on data from Scopus,
the largest abstract and citation database
of research information, covering more
than 70 million articles, books and
conference papers and draws its content
from more than 5,000 publishers covering
23,000 journals. SciVal also includes

usage measures from both ScienceDirect
and Scopus, patent-article citations,
awarded grants and media mentions.
Said Taha, Elsevier VP Research
Management, Sales & Services, said:
“Universities globally are increasingly
investing in an evidence-based approach
to develop a clear understanding of
their position and progress. Being able
to tap into the wide span of Scopus
bibliometric data coverage in SciVal will
enable research leaders and managers
across Poland to better assess their overall
strategy and performance impact - both
nationally, as well as on a global scale.”
The access for the Polish scholarly
community will be managed by the
Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical
and Computational Modelling (IMC) at
the University of Warsaw.
Scopus and SciVal are part of Elsevier’s
Research Intelligence portfolio, its
offering of solutions which support
the three pillars of strategic research
management: to enable, conduct and
share research.
