ResearchLoupe offers metrics and analytics for comparing academic research activity. Clients include universities, individual faculty, journals, and any other entities interested in research productivity. ResearchLoupe allows each school to observe their discipline’s landscape as it traces its strategy, based on its own perspectives and values, for promotion and tenure. With ResearchLoupe’s information system, schools are able to create a more productive research environment. Faculty and university partners are presented with a clear understanding of the school’s research commitments and level of research as compared to peer institutions. For the first time, schools can easily and precisely evaluate and compare a faculty’s research impact and productivity with others in their field. They have the ability to accurately assess a faculty’s career accomplishments at each promotion milestone. Similarly, faculty members have the opportunity to isolate other faculty's performance to the period of time in their careers that compares to their own. Faculty members can measure their path to those with similar goals and use this information to help guide their future career choices.
