InCites Integration
This page describes various integrations with InCites Benchmarking & Analytics (InCites) data. For general information on Esploro integration, see here. For general information about InCites, see InCites Benchmarking & Analytics.
InCites is a citation-based evaluation tool by Clarivate for analyzing institutional productivity and benchmark output. The combined capabilities of Esploro and InCites provide a comprehensive view of research impact and institutional productivity.
InCites integration is available for customers of Esploro who also subscribe to InCites.
Watch the How to Configure InCites Integration video (3:34 minutes).
Integration Background
The integration with InCites Benchmarking & Analytics relies on a background job called Esploro InCites Metrics Job. The job can be viewed and managed at Admin > Monitor Jobs. In order for the integration to take place, the job must be Active. When it is active, the job runs daily and retrieves metrics for newly added records. It also checks for updates for existing records, but only once a month, because InCites data is updated on a monthly basis.
Available Metrics and Schemas
For a list of available metrics and schemas in the context of these integrations, see Esploro Research Assets.
