2014 saw the global launch of SciVal, combining the best parts of SciVal Spotlight and SciVal Strata into a product that, a decade later, is used by thousands of university professionals around the world.
One thing that kept coming back, was the impact our Customer Consultants had on our customers, delivering training and guidance on SciVal and its underlying data and metrics.
I remember a series of seminars at one of our departments, where Zsofi Buttel (a SciVal Customer Consultant), was doing part of the teaching in the seminars. We had seminars like 'Boost your researcher profile' and sessions more directed to research groups where SciVal was a part. I think these seminars made a very positive impact at the way we work with these fields at Aalborg University.

My first experience of SciVal was a very intense full day, one on one training session with Matt Walker (a SciVal Customer Consultant), when I started as the University’s first Research Publications Adviser in early 2016. I remember leaving the training absolutely exhausted, but rather excited by the possibilities of SciVal.
At one event in Amsterdam, I presented on how to onboard SciVal at your institution. The talk went well, but the locker holding my passport and bag wouldn’t open— the staff at the venue had to hacksaw their way into the brand-new museum locker to open it. This was only an hour or so before my flight check in time and was rather stressful! It didn’t put me off using SciVal though.

"As a product, SciVal is extremely fortunate to have a vibrant, intelligent and engaged customer base. Without you, SciVal would not be the product it is today. You have collaborated with us, tested, presented, critiqued and ultimately helped us shape SciVal into the solution that helps you provide strategic insights, to help your university's research programs thrive. And for that, we are thankful!"

As you’ve probably noticed, SciVal does not sit still! We are in the middle of expanding the data and metrics available for analysis, along with the providing even more flexibility — all of which you’ll see in SciVal over the course of 2024 and beyond.
We’ve recently moved away from the modular design to a new information architecture S’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre, making it easier to navigate and discover functionality in SciVal.
The competency maps, which uncovered areas of strength for an institution, were replaced with the Topic maps in 2017. This year, we’re updating Topics with an improved mapping algorithm! S’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre
It’s also nice to see that some design patterns have grown, expanded and been refined, but not changed drastically since the original designs in 2014. Benchmarking is a good example of this.
In the past 10 years, we've exceeded our expectations with SciVal. We hope we've exceeded yours, too. Take a look at how we've grown in a decade, thanks to your support!
SciVal has grown from:
4,600 to 24,600 institutional profiles
3 modules (Overview, Benchmarking and Collaboration) to 6 modules (added Trends, Grants and Impact)
75 trillion to 350 trillion metric values processed per week
18 to 28 years of history
30 to 140+ metrics
34M to 70M Scopus publications
1 (Scopus publication data) to 6 data types (+ views, policy, media, funding and patent data)
SciVal team increased from 15 to 40 members
Over the past 10 years there have been a number of you lovely customers, who have liked SciVal so much that you have become Elsevier colleagues. They have gone on to share their SciVal expertise with peer institutions as Customer Consultants. We asked a few about the transition to celebrate this special milestone.

Hear from Customer Success Manager Alison Ferrett on how much SciVal has changed over the years, especially how much more "user-friendly and intuitive" it's become.
Hear from Elsevier Advisor Art Ellis on what it was like to work with SciVal to manage scholarly publications, and search for subject matter experts, in the wake of the legalization of cannabis in California.
"Two modules were built first. Overview and Benchmarking. Overview was then called SPS, which stood for Strategy and Performance Summary. I’m glad we settled on Overview instead!"
