Today’s research landscape is more competitive than never, with many researchers vying for resources and recognition.  It is critical for early-career researchers to develop a good understanding of the landscape of their research field: current trends, leading institutions and researchers, collaboration opportunities and impact.

This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to SciVal, a publication and citation analysis tool which analyses tens of millions of research publications to illustrate the current state of disciplines.  Researchers will learn how to identify leaders in their field and how to find potential collaborators and research partners.  Find out more about SciVal at http://www.library.pitt.edu/bibliometric-services.

Audience: Research students, Early career researchers, Research administrators
