News You Can Use: Looking for a Research Partner? Try SciVal

Free for Johns Hopkins employees, SciVal helps identify potential collaboration opportunities.

Published in Insight - September 2014

SciVal allows you to simply and efficiently search researchers by area of expertise, institution or last name. The tool creates a profile for each researcher by mining the published articles through Scopus and listing valuable information, such as research network, co-author network, similar experts, journals and list of recent publications. It allows researchers to connect with others in and outside of their field. The SciVal community portal allows you to search through the faculty of the JHMI campus, as well as a variety of other research organizations.

2016 Update

A new system called Pure is now in place of SciVal to find Johns Hopkins experts' research profiles.
