A powerful new tool to deliver research insights


The IET’s research database, Inspec, has been delivering access to engineering intelligence since 1969. Owing to the precision and accuracy of its indexing, Inspec has become the authoritative resource for accessing scientific literature across engineering, physics and computer science, serving numerous prestigious institutions and tens of thousands of users around the world. Now, as the role of scholarly


communications is evolving, the IET is utilising this legacy to provide new solutions, in response to the increasing need to assess the value and impact of research, and guide business strategy.


Introducing Inspec Analytics Engineering is global and increasingly multi-disciplinary - so it can be a challenge to identify the next hot topic of research or a distinct competitive advantage. Inspec Analytics enables research


professionals to explore beyond the literature in Inspec to uncover trends and patterns across a wide range of physics and engineering disciplines at both local and global levels. With these insights, you can set the


direction for your research outputs and monitor their impact. Using semantic technology, we’ve


connected each element of the literature indexed in our Inspec database, e.g. author, organisation, publication, date, subject keywords etc. to create the Inspec knowledge graph. Inspec Analytics allows you to navigate this map of science to identify and compare research trends across thousands of organisations and scientific concepts. Use Inspec Analytics to support your


strategic planning: • Monitor the research output of your institution and see how this ranks globally


• Benchmark an institution against collaborators and competitors to find strengths and areas for growth


• Monitor global trends for over 14,000 research topics to explore new fields and find collaborators.

Catalyst Grant Winner Ripeta Aims to Increase Reproducibility in Research


Founded by a team of three science-related experts who joined forces whilst working at Washington University in St. Louis, Ripeta was developed to assess, design, and disseminate practices and measures to improve the reproducibility of science with minimal burden on scientists, starting with the biomedical sciences. The tool detects the key evidence for and


assesses reproducibility in the scientific research industry through software and analytics development; improving evidence- based science and fiscal efficiency of research investments. These tools leverage sophisticated machine-learning and natural language processing algorithms to extract key reproducibility elements from research articles. Ripeta focuses on assessing the quality


of the reporting and robustness of the scientific method rather than the quality of the science. The company’s long-term goal includes developing a suite of tools across the broader spectrum of sciences to understand and measure the key standards and limitations for scientific reproducibility across the research lifecycle and enable an automated approach to their assessment and dissemination.


The Catalyst Grant The Catalyst Grant was born of Digital Science’s desire to help early-stage software ideas come into fruition. The grant team is made up of people with a research background and decades of experience within research software. Ripeta was awarded the prestigious grant in 2018 and went on to garner further investment this year. If you’ve got an idea to further scientific


research, the Catalyst Grant could provide the funds and friendly advice to bring it to life.

Get true insight into your impact with HighWire Impact Vizor


Did your Journal Impact Factor ranking come as a surprise to you this year? Publishers shouldn’t have to wait months


to learn whether recent changes in editorial practice or approach are having a positive effect.


Impact Vizor is an award-winning visual


analytics tool which gives you real-time insight into the impact your content is having, allowing you to capitalise on trends and make better editorial decisions.


Real-time, granular insight Impact Vizor tracks not only the impact of your journals, but also articles and objects to identify trends and hot topics. By measuring the correlation between different metrics, you can understand which are YOUR leading indicators of future citability.


Competitive context Impact Vizor allows you to benchmark your article performance against that of competitors in similar disciplines, as well as seeing where your rejected articles end up and the amount of citations they get. This type of contextual analysis gives you the ability to make better decisions around commissioning and prioritise content with greater future potential.


Intuitive visualisation Impact Vizor integrates the power of Microsoft Academic Graph with the elegance of Tableau to present data in a highly intuitive, visual manner, making it easy to analyse impact or spot trends at a glance. You can export visualisations as well as the raw data behind the visualisation to create reports or incorporate into other analytics tools.
