Using the Web of Science to Identify and
Promote Research Excellence
LONDON, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate
Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted
information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, has
been selected to provide citation data for the Excellence in
Research for Australia (ERA) 2023,
the country's national university research evaluation framework. In
doing so, Clarivate will help the Australian Research
Council to identify research excellence by discipline, across
the entire Australian university research sector.
The 2023 round of ERA is the second consecutive time Clarivate
has been selected as the exclusive provider. The Web of
Science™ will be the exclusive source of the highest quality
citation data from its coverage of relevant journals for the
Australian Research Council (ARC) to use when assessing research
quality from higher education institutions participating in ERA.
The 2023 evaluation will be informed by using either peer review or
a range of citation indicators, depending on the discipline.
ERA identifies and promotes excellence across the full spectrum
of research activity in Australia's higher education institutions. ERA
helps inform decision making across universities, industry,
government and community stakeholder groups by providing a rich and
robust source of information on university research excellence and
comparative quality of research produced by Australia's universities.
Clarivate has supported ERA from inception in 2010, including
being part of the 2008 working group that developed indicators for
the first time a nationwide stocktake of discipline strengths
and areas for development had ever been conducted in Australia. Since then, ERA has continued to
evolve each round, including proposed improvements recommended by
an expert panel during the ERA and EI review. Clarivate is
committed to working with the ARC to implement improvements from
previous years and ensure efficient and robust assessments of the
quality and impact of Australian research are achieved in 2023.
Jonathan Adams, Chief Scientist,
Institute for Scientific Information, Clarivate said: "We are

Council and to be chosen as the exclusive citation data provider
