About the talk
The ub:talk will begin with a presentation on Global Science and the Role of Austria. It will be followed by a workshop by Günter Hansen on the bibliometric tool SciVal.
Over the past two decades, the geography of science has undergone significant transformations, characterized by increased investment in science and technology across nearly all nations, and a growing focus on how science has impact in the world. This talk will look at these developments from two perspectives: first, we will look at global science, analyzing shifts in authors, papers, and impact across the globe. And second, we will look at local science, analyzing how Austria has developed as a scientific nation within Europe and the world.
About the workshop
During this workshop we will analyze those global and local trends in science with the platform SciVal based on global research publications. We will look specifically at the following:
- Benchmark countries, institutions, researchers on various metrics based on publication output, including your own faculty/institute/ research group
- Identify global/local research trends and the concept of „research topics of prominence“ / understand the role of your own faculty/ research/research group within those global research topics
- Carve out research impact of your own faculty/research/research group in a global/national view
- Develop an internationalization strategy for your own research/ research group
- Understand global research opportunities in collaboration with industry / identify global research collaborators within industry for your faculty/research/research group
