What is a scienometric report?
Information on scientific activity and national and international ranking
Our scientometric reports uncover every facet of academic communication within your institution, offering deep insights into research performance, as well as the impact and efficiency of your research policies and programs.
Reports are also available at national and regional levels, and can be tailored to both indexed and non-indexed scientific journals.
SCImago leverages a vast dataset to provide in-depth insights into scientific activity and research rankings at both national and international levels. This contributes to greater transparency and accountability across the research ecosystem, while also supporting smarter, more efficient resource allocation.
- A Practical Tool for Advancing Science
- Designed for both production and analysis, this tool supports informed decision-making and fosters the growth of scientific research.
- Utilizes advanced data visualization techniques to deliver multi-dimensional analysis.
- Offers a historical perspective to inform future research strategies
- Subject to the limitations of its data sources and the defined observation window
- Aids in identifying emerging research trends and directions.
- Helps shape the global scientific landscape by highlighting research output and impact.
- Not a substitute for evaluation. Expert interpretation is essential to fully understand the indicators provided.
Goals
A scientometric report is designed to:
- Understand the data and representations that characterize the research capacity
- Support strategic decision-making to enhance visibility, impact, and reputation
- Monitor and evaluate the impacts of research policies and programs

Advantages of a scientometric report
We deliver tailored solutions and meaningful value to our users.
Governments
Scientific Output Reports for Countries and Regions
Designed for national agencies involved in promoting and monitoring scientific research, our reports provide comprehensive, data-driven insights into research activity and performance.
- Analyze the volume of scientific output indexed in the Scopus database, segmented by year and subject area.
- Access global rankings for countries, research institutions, and individual researchers
- Evaluate the effectiveness of public science funding by establishing baselines and tracking the performance of specific programs and instruments.
- Present clear, objective evidence of research impact and excellence for expert review panels.
- Assess how well government priorities, policies, and funding mechanisms align with actual research outcomes and impacts.
Researcher
Author’s scientometric report
TARGET AUDIENCE: Research groups, researchers
- We analyze data from a researcher’s published documents, including co-authorship patterns and citation networks, to provide a comprehensive view of their scientific activity.
- The resulting report highlights the researcher’s key performance areas within their academic context and offers tailored recommendations to strengthen and enhance their research profile.
Research Center
Scientometric report by subject area
TARGET AUDIENCE: These reports focus on the performance and detailed characterization of specific subject areas, providing valuable insights for both research institutions and individual researchers.
- These reports showcase the scientific output and impact of journals within a specific subject area and its related categories, based on data from the SJR – SCImago Journal & Country Rank.
Universities and Research centers
Institutional scientometric report
TARGET AUDIENCE: Universities, public research centers, healthcare institutions, private companies, and other research-performing organizations.
- These reports present an institution’s scientific output and impact through carefully calculated indicators based on data from the SCOPUS and PATSTAT databases.
- To provide meaningful context, each institution’s performance is benchmarked against peer organizations, both nationally and internationally, highlighting comparative strengths and opportunities for improvement across key indicators.
Publishers/scientific journals
Journal scientometric report
TARGET AUDIENCE: Indexed and non-indexed scientific journals
- We collect and analyze data from a journal’s published documents, including authorship and citation sources, whether indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar, or both.
- The resulting report identifies the journal’s strengths and weaknesses within its scientific context and includes actionable recommendations to enhance its visibility, impact, and overall performance.
