Notice Title

UK SBS BLOJEU-CR16070MRC - Bibliometric Data

Notice Description

The MRC regularly monitors, evaluates and reports on successes and the outcomes, outputs and impact of the research support. To better understand how MRC research leads to economic, societal and academic impact, all MRC-funded researchers are required to provide feedback on the impact of their work via an online system called researchfish(r) . These data are supplemented with additional information from other sources, such as bibliometric analysis. Combined, these datasets provide a detailed picture of the progress, productivity and quality of the science we support. This includes developing new medicines and technologies, improving clinical policies and practices, and encouraging inward investment to the UK. The main reason for this tender exercise is to update, or if necessary replace, the bibliometric data that MRC holds on publications arising from the research it has funded since 2006.
