"Before the certification training, I mainly used the Overview, Benchmarking, Collaboration and Trends Modules of SciVal, and always took a slight attitude towards My SciVal and Reporting Modules. Now, I feel that these two functions are so amazing, they are very valuable for the team's intelligence analysis work and can greatly improve work efficiency."

What the course covers

The program consists of six modules released on a weekly basis, and lessons are distributed via an online learning platform consisting of quizzes, walk throughs, presentations and short instructional videos. A discussion forum also enables you to connect with other customers to find out how they are using SciVal at their institution.

Each module covers a different topic relevant to SciVal:

  • Module 1: Getting started with SciVal

  • Module 2: Using Metrics in SciVal

  • Module 3: Institutional insights

  • Module 4: Working with researchers

  • Module 5: Working with reports

  • Module 6: Rolling out SciVal at Your Institution

The total time commitment is approximately nine hours, over a six-week period (~1.5 hrs per module). You can complete the courses on any day and at a time convenient for you.

In order to receive certification, you will need to complete all modules and achieve a score of 80% or more on each of the quizzes.

New graduate students are also able to share their successes with peers via social media professional networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook #SciValCertfication
