Explore trends and identify leading experts

Working together with the Overview module and Topics, Trends can help address challenges such as:

  • How can I identify potential rising stars at our institution or in a specific discipline?

  • How can I identify key researchers and institutions in a specific Topic or field to develop and strengthen our own research?

  • How can I find which corporations have invested in research areas where we are strong and, therefore, might represent a funding opportunity?

  • How can I identify potential growth opportunities to inform our research strategy?
