Database Trials
The Northeastern University Library Is Currently Offering Trial Access to These Resources:
Inspec Analytics Plus (+)
Snell Library is currently offering trial access through June 2024 to Inspec Analytics Plus from the IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology). Inspec Analytics Plus is based on content (publications, citation counts, authors/researchers, institutions, publishers, etc.) included in the IET’s database, Inspec, which is searchable. The Inspec database is one of the most definitive sources for discovering research in the fields of physics, electronics, computing and engineering.
As a researcher, it may be helpful to understand the attention your publications are receiving, to look at how your work compares to other researchers who could be competing for the same grants, or to identify potential collaborators or prolific researchers in your field. Inspec Analytics Plus analyzes data and creates visualizations about trends in research, publications, authors, institutions, funding agencies, etc. The resource allows you to find answers to questions such as: What are the growing topics in my field? Which subjects should I include in my literature search? Where can I find collaborators in my field? Which are the most relevant journals and conferences to publish my work? How could my research contribute to the output of my institution?
