Our Coverage
League of Scholars holds data on scholars from over 130,000 universities
and research institutions worldwide. We collect and integrate bibliometrics
data from a range of open public data sources including Google Scholar,
Microsoft Academic and Webometrics.
Our comprehensive data coverage allows us to rank institutions globally
and nationally on multiple topics giving the institutions the opportunity
to gauge their ranking at a much granular level. These statistics allow
them to make informed decisions on investments in research centers, strategical
hires and academic promotions.
We have data on over 4,000,000 authors from around the world. Our
rankings contain a range of factors including the quality of venues published
in as well as industry linkages. And because they are very granular - it
only compares apples with apples. Using novel machine learning algorithms we
have predicted their age, gender and academic level which help in deeper analysis of research potential.
Utilising the current research collaboration network data we can assess each author's research network potential beyond their current organization.
Our data collection contains samples of author statistics going back in
time for several years for most authors giving us the opportunity to compute unique and robust
metrics of performance.
Our collection covers over 300 topics and 37,000 subtopics - derived from
global in-publication keyword ranking and analysis - enabling granular
and accurate author, topic and cross-institution comparisons.
Our analysis of author-topic relationships has enabled us to suggest related
topics to widen the scope of search allowing strategical recruitment much
easier.
