The purpose of this search is to create your own “Research area” by adding research-specific keywords to it, which results in SciVal generating an authors list.

Procedere:

1. Clicking the entity "Research Areas":

This can be done in the modules "Overview", "Benchmarking" and "Trends".

 

2. Select "Define a new Research Area"

 

3. Type in the research-specific keywords, which should be connected with Boolean operators.

 

4. Via "Refine definition" it is possible to refine the search.

Attention:

With every limitation you may exclude relevant publications.

 

5. Name the publication set clearly and save it with "Save and finish".

If the amount of publications within the created publication set exceeds 5000, the system of SciVal takes a 24 hours waiting time. A notification about the completion will be received via e-mail.
