The following slides provide a very brief analysis of Pakistans

research outcomes using Elseviers new solution Scival
Scivals capabilities lie in developing comprehensive analysis
of research outcomes in order to help identify institutional
and individual research strengths and build on them for
evaluation, attracting collaboration and driving research
impact.
Agencies and institutions across the world use Scival to help
in planning their research strategies
Scivals underlying data is from Scopus which covers more
than 21000 titles from across 5000 publishers including 19000
peer reviewed journal sources (incl 80 titles from Pakistan).
