Introduction:
The library, centered on the university's "Double First-Class" initiative, utilizes metrology theory as a guide. By leveraging advanced professional information analysis and mining tools, along with various intelligence analysis methods, it conducts an in-depth analysis of literature data. This analysis spans dimensions such as research papers, high-end talent, research projects, research awards, discipline reputation, and institutional profiles. It provides highly customized intelligence analysis services, including decision-making information support and evaluation consultation based on factual data, scientific and technological information, and literature resources, to functional departments, faculties, and disciplines. These services assist in grasping discipline development trends, determining institutional development levels, and offering decision-making support.
ESI Subject Rankings and Situational Analysis
Case 1: ESI Discipline Monitoring Series Report
Since September 2019, the library has been providing four ESI subject analysis reports every two months, based on databases such as Clarivate Analytics' InCites, ESI, JCR, and SCIE. These reports include "Shenzhen University ESI Subject Data Brief," "Shenzhen University ESI Subject Potential Value Monitoring Bulletin," "Shenzhen University ESI Performance in Guangdong Province and Comparative Analysis with Benchmark Universities," and "Shenzhen University ESI Highly Cited Papers Academic Performance Bulletin." The reports primarily analyze the overall construction status of Shenzhen University's ESI subjects, the performance of various ESI subjects at international, national, and provincial levels, predictions of potential entry into the top 1% or 0.1%, and the performance of highly cited papers in terms of subjects, journals, and collaborating institutions.
Case 2: Analysis of ESI Discipline Trends
An overview of the ten-year development of ESI disciplines at Shenzhen University, along with a comprehensive analysis of the involvement of various colleges and related authors in the development of ESI disciplines. This analysis includes aspects such as the publication of highly cited papers, the publication and citation status of colleges, the publication and citation status of authors, and journal publications. To date, analyses have been completed for ESI disciplines including Social Sciences, General; Engineering; Chemistry; Computer Science; Materials Science; Agricultural Sciences; Environment/Ecology; and Molecular Biology & Genetics.
Dynamic analysis of university competitiveness
Case 1: "Annual Report on the Development of Academic Disciplines at Shenzhen University"
In collaboration with the Development Planning Department, data from various sources related to academic development have been systematically compiled. This includes data on degree authorization points, ESI discipline data, high-quality paper data, Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers list, Stanford University's list of the top 2% of scientists globally, data from the four major authoritative world university rankings, and the Nature Index. These data have been visualized and analyzed in a multi-faceted and comprehensive manner to systematically reflect the annual development status of the school.
Case 2: Analysis of Shenzhen University's Academic Performance in the Nature Index Annual Rankings
Based on the "Nature Index 2021 Annual List" published by the Nature Index website, an overall analysis of the research performance of Shenzhen University, the data of domestic institutions entering the global TOP 100 universities, and the top 25 fastest-rising institutions in China is conducted. Additionally, the overall research output of the university in the four disciplines tracked by the Nature Index is revealed.
Case 3: Analysis Report on the Competitiveness of Research Achievements and Social Service Impact of Shenzhen University
The overall academic output of Shenzhen University from 2018 to 2023 has been evaluated, including dimensions such as outstanding research output, thematic research at the micro level, level of collaboration, conversion rate of research results into patents, policy citations, and media exposure.
Analysis of Scholars' Academic Influence
Case 1: Analysis of the Top 2% of Global Scientists from Stanford
The analysis of the "Lifetime Scientific Influence Rankings" and the "2019 Annual Scientific Influence Rankings" for domestic universities included in the list of the top 2% of scientists globally will be conducted from the perspectives of the number of individuals listed and institutional rankings. Additionally, an in-depth analysis will be carried out on the distribution of colleges and academic fields for Shenzhen University scientists included in the "Lifetime Scientific Influence Rankings" and the "2019 Annual Scientific Influence Rankings" of the top 2% of scientists globally.
Case 2: "Evaluation Report on Prospective Talent"
Analyze the number of publications, top journal papers, citation frequency, research collaborations, patents, talent evaluations, and benchmarking scholar analysis of the scholars to be introduced, providing relevant references for the human resources department to implement talent introduction.
Frontier and hotspot analyses
Case 1: "Analysis Report on the Research Trends and Hotspots of MOOCs in UOOC Alliance Member Universities"
Based on the CNKI database, using BICOMB and SPASS tools, an analysis was conducted on the overall situation of MOOC-related theme papers published by UOOC alliance member universities from 2014 to 2020. This analysis covers the volume of publications, distribution of research institutions/regions, distribution of authors, distribution of journals, as well as trend studies and hotspot analysis based on high-frequency keywords.
Faculty Competitiveness Analysis
Using databases such as InCites, ESI, JCR, Scival, and the Shenzhen University Academic Portal, along with tools like Citespace or VOSviewer, conduct a comprehensive analysis and objective evaluation of academic competitiveness and research performance from dimensions such as research papers, high-end talent, and benchmark schools. This approach aids in understanding the dynamics of discipline development, determining the level of institutional development, and providing decision support services.
