For Universities & Research Institutions
Your Researchers Are Publishing.
Is Anyone Finding Their Work?
Publication output has never been higher. Discovery rates haven't kept pace. If your institution's research isn't visible in the systems that funding bodies, ranking agencies, and international collaborators rely on, it isn't driving the reputation, impact, or competitive position you need.
1 in 3
researchers have disambiguated author profiles
Scopus and Web of Science split citations across duplicate profiles, deflating your institution's bibliometric standing in every ranking that uses these databases.
47%
of institutional publications are below citation benchmark
Not because the research isn't valuable, but because it isn't discoverable. Most institutions have no systematic approach to publication-level discoverability.

funding application success rate for highly-cited researchers
H-index and citation metrics directly influence grant panel decisions. Institutions with strong visibility systems produce more fundable researchers.
What a visibility audit covers
You can't fix what
you haven't measured.
The Researchvy Institutional Visibility Audit produces a full baseline across every dimension of your research discovery infrastructure, benchmarked against comparable institutions and broken down by department, career stage, and discipline.
- ORCID verification rate across all academic staff
- Author disambiguation status (Scopus, WoS, Google Scholar)
- Publication coverage across major indexing databases
- Citation attribution accuracy by department
- h-index distribution vs. peer institutions
- Open access compliance and discoverability gap
- Research communication reach (media, policy, public engagement)

How we work with institutions
Institutional Visibility Audit
A comprehensive baseline assessment of your institution's research visibility infrastructure, by department, by discipline, benchmarked against comparable institutions.

Discuss Clinic AccessStrategic Partnership
An ongoing research visibility partnership covering audit, training, intelligence, and impact tracking, with quarterly reporting to your research office.
Discuss a PartnershipThe return on visibility investment
Every citation your researchers lose to poor visibility
is a ranking point, a funding argument, or a collaboration that never happened.
QS, Times Higher Education, and ARWU all use citation-based metrics that depend directly on the quality of your researchers' visibility infrastructure. An institution with 200 academics each recovering an average of 15 lost citations produces 3,000 additional attributed citations, enough to move measurably in most ranking bands.
This is infrastructure investment, not training spend. The effect compounds every year as newly attributed publications continue to accrue citations.
