International Collaboration

SciVal allows a researcher to demonstrate through data and visualisation methods the collaboration they have had with other authors at their institution, as well as nationally and internationally.

Example statement

"35% of my publications have co-authors from international institutions across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, Japan and New Zealand." (source: SciVal, 21 May)

Finding collaborators

Demonstrating research collaboration can be beneficial for:

  • applying for an academic position or promotion
  • submitting a research grant application
  • increasing your research engagement and impact
  • increasing your research profile

If trying to locate researchers in your field in which to collaborate on a grant application then discover how the SciVal database can support you. SciVal enables researchers to locate others researching in the same field, for potential collaboration.

Instructions about Research Collaboration and Finding collaborators are available on the library guide for Strategic publishing.
