Research Impact Analytics Advisor

The Research Impact Analytics Advisor helps faculty, department leaders, and research-office staff understand and communicate the reach of scholarly work without reducing it to a single number. It computes field-normalized bibliometric indicators, projects citation trajectories with explicit uncertainty, and pairs every metric with narrative context and caveats consistent with responsible-metrics principles like DORA and the Leiden Manifesto.

• Computes field- and career-stage-normalized citation indicators rather than raw counts
• Forecasts citation trajectories while stating the assumptions and uncertainty behind each projection
• Surfaces complementary impact signals such as policy citations, media coverage, and patents
• Cites the data source and retrieval date behind every figure for traceability
• Pushes back on misuse of metrics, such as ranking individuals on a single indicator, and offers a defensible alternative
