8 An Overview of the Water Research and Funding Landscape Daniel Calto Director of Business Development Academic and Government Markets

9 Governments are actively guiding their national research agendas Research Program Sponsor Description Assess the quality of research in universities and colleges in the UK Enable funding bodies to determine how to allocate grants across research projects Detail by institution and by discipline those areas that are internationally competitive Identify emerging areas where there are opportunities for development and further investment Identify thematic domains for future European support Part of EU s strategy to become the most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world Research Evaluation is increasingly based on quantitative methods 9

10 Scopus at a Glance Comprehensive Global Coverage Scopus is the largest multidisciplinary abstract and citation database with peerreviewed research literature, quality web sources, patents and more. Scopus covers over 18,000 titles from more than 5,000 global publishers. Scopus coverage is global by design: Scopus content originates from outside North America representing various countries Europe, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region. 1% 3% 5% 47% 9% 2% Asia Pacific Australia New Zealand Central & South America 33% Eastern Europe & Russia Middle East & Africa North America Western Europe & Israel 10

11 Article-level co-citation analysis as a foundation for better analysis of interdisciplinary fields SciVal Spotlight provides unique value in three areas: 1. Comprehensive, multi-disciplinary and global content, based on Scopus abstracts and citation data 2. High-quality matching of output by authors and institutions, based on Scopus author and affiliation profiles 3. Bottom-up aggregation of research activity using article-level classification, through partnership with industry thought leaders

32 Summary Research in Water Resources is increasing 27% above average research growth, with China leading in research output. The field is increasingly multidisciplinary which makes it challenging to comprehend by simply looking at the research output in journal categories. Technological solutions help us understand the field, where it is moving and where we might want to offer incentives to drive it. 32
