grant productivity tracking - have an efficient workflow?

  • 1.  grant productivity tracking - have an efficient workflow?

    Posted Jun 08, 2021 04:56 PM

    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone out there could provide a little guidance or share a workflow on any part of my query. I'll do my best to articulate, as I'm new at all of this. Gotta start somewhere, right? Does anyone have an efficient way of or workflow for tracking research productivity that came out of a larger grant? The grant we're attempting to track at this time is one awarded to an institute with faculty from multiple disciplines/departments across campus. We have a few tools like Scopus, Web of Science, and of course, Google Scholar as well as a local instance of Elsevier's Pure and our Office of Research has Academic Analytics. Within the databases we're planning to set up alerts and hand-search as needed. With Pure we thought there would be an easy way of mapping activities to publications with the idea of seeing the impact or influence of those publications on other activities like conference presentations or subsequent grants, but according to Elsevier, these two things don't "talk" with one another in Pure.

     So, we're real novices here, but hoping for whatever guidance y'all might have to help set us on an efficient path. Maybe this is fodder for another listserv too  or there's a workshop for that, etc. – happy to take those suggestions too.
    All the best,
