Dimensions Analytics: publication data and research datasets

A UVA license through the Health Sciences Library provides access to Dimensions Analytics, a large, multidisciplinary research database that collects and links many content types (publication data, grant information, clinical trials, policy documents, and more) for exploration, discovery and analysis.

Research datasets are also available through the Dimensions Analytics subscription through API access. Access methods include:

  • Dimensions Analytics Web Interface
    • Allows for searching for documents or organizations and browsing through the content types above, with many useful facets (e.g. HRCS codes) for refinement as well as options for benchmarking between organizations
  • Dimensions Analytics API
    • Provides full-text search, data extraction, and programmatic access to the entire database.
    • Seats are limited; request access via the link below

Refer to the Health Sciences Library guide to Dimensions Analytics for access instructions to the Web Interface, a request form for API access, and training materials.
