Results Analysis

 

The Scopus ‘Analyze Results’ tool is a feature that enables users to analyse large sets of search results in a visual and interactive way. This tool helps researchers explore and identify trends and patterns in scientific research data.

 

 

Here are some of the main features and uses:

• Analysing scientific output

Enables you to visualise the number of publications over time, which helps to identify publication trends in specific areas of research.

• Distribution by research area

Shows the distribution of publications by area of knowledge, making it easier to identify the most productive and relevant areas.

• Analysis by author, institution or country

The tool enables you to visualise which authors, institutions/universities or countries are most active in a given area of research, offering insights into collaborations and the concentration of knowledge.

• Distribution by type of document

You can see the proportion of different types of documents (research papers, reviews, conferences, etc.), which helps you understand the focus of a particular area of research.

• Publication sources

Shows the scientific journals that publish the most papers within an area or on a specific topic, helping to identify the most influential publication channels.

Main uses:

• Identifying research trends: a temporal analysis which makes it possible to see how interest in a certain topic has evolved over the years.

• Discover collaborations: analysing authors and institutions/universities highlights potential collaborators and/or leading research groups.

• Evaluate the productivity of countries and institutions/universities: helps measure the impact and participation of different regions in global scientific production.

• Submission planning: By identifying the journals that publish the most on a certain topic, researchers can strategically choose where to submit their papers.
