Nature Index is building on its history of monitoring publication output to include a richer, more valuable set of metrics. We’re combining leading sources of data from surveys, public and government sources, our bibliographic data partners, and more, to provide a set of measures that help you assess your research performance, and then determine how to improve it.
Get access to the wide range of metrics you need to understand your organisation’s research performance. The Nature Index team monitors organisations on meaningful academic, societal, and economic indicators to support a rounded view of impact, which will become available as part of our future free to access releases. That gives you greater freedom to decide what metrics are important to you, and to track your progress accordingly.
The easy-to-use and transparent Nature Index can support your monitoring activity. You can compare current and historical data to track trends over time. And you can combine Nature Index with other data sets for deeper, more meaningful analysis that uncovers valuable insights to inform your research strategy.
Validate the assumptions that drive your research strategy decisions.
Getting an accurate measurement of research impacts is critical. Imprecise data leads to uncertainty when deciding how to develop your organisation’s research strategy, who to collaborate with, and how to improve your organisation’s research impact. With Nature Index you benefit from our in-house data curation so you can confidently:
