Academic Metrics

The academic metrics section of UNIWeb is where the raw statistical data from the UNIWeb members' CVs is collected and translated into meaningful information. Data from ten different categories are compiled here, updated automatically as members of the network compose and modify their academic CVs. These categories can be used to monitor the achievements and engagement of an institution or faculty over time or can be exported for formal use in a report:
Publications
Artistic Contributions
Intellectual Properties
Interviews and Media Relations
Presentations
Recognition
Student Supervision
Teaching Activities
Course Development
Program Development
Research Funding History
Using preset visualization tools, UNIWeb can help you organize this information in the form of bar and line graphs, or lists. These graphing presets can be filtered, but if you need granular control over the information or graphing, UNIWeb offers powerful custom filtering tools to download academic metric information's raw data in an excel sheet.
