Recognizing a growing need for more in-depth insight to support strategic research-related decisions, Elsevier developed the SciVal suite of solutions and services. Utilizing Scopus®, the company’s comprehensive abstract and citation database, the SciVal offerings make this supporting data more visible and accessible to all members of the academic and government research community.

The suite currently includes:

SciVal Experts
A directory of research expertise, SciVal Experts makes it easy for researchers, administrators, managers and senior leadership to find experts and enable collaboration within their institution and across organizations. Powered by the Elsevier Fingerprint Engine™, SciVal Experts scans and analyzes every publication in the Scopus database, creating Fingerprints of individual researcher's expertise and exposing connections among authors.

SciVal Funding
A significant amount of researchers’ time is consumed by the grant application process. With limited time between applying for grants and actual research, it’s important that they choose their opportunities wisely. SciVal Funding provides targeted recommendations as well as award history so researchers have the intelligence they need to maximize their chances for success.

SciVal Spotlight
SciVal Spotlight enables an institution to identify its research strengths by offering a multidisciplinary perspective on research output. SciVal Spotlight is designed to provide data to support decisions about fund allocation, staffing and which new research areas to pursue.

SciVal Strata
A research performance visualization tool, SciVal Strata helps institutional and departmental leadership understand and test how best to put their organization’s strategy in place, and how to demonstrate the value that they or their teams represent to that strategy. SciVal Strata helps users make informed decisions regarding recruitment, retention and promotion.

While each component of SciVal provides important information, using the tools collectively provides data needed to enable success in various research workflows.
