What we do

Solution directions

Each direction can be sold separately, but it works stronger as a system: diagnostics → dashboard → expert interpretation → solution → training → support → value proof.

01

Knowledge access

Journals, books, dissertations, academic databases and professional content for learning and research.

Institution challenge

Content is often purchased as a separate subscription and is not always connected to curricula, research offices and leadership priorities.

What changes after implementation

The institution gains a foundation for learning, research, literature review and user support.

02

Research analytics

Publications, citations, topics, journals, collaborations and reports for management decisions.

Institution challenge

Leadership sees separate indicators but not always the strengths, risks and actionable growth points.

What changes after implementation

Data becomes a basis for strategy, monitoring, reporting, KPIs and faculty-level conversations.

03

Research development

Grants, partners, publication strategy, research office and support for research teams.

Institution challenge

Researchers often search for funding, journals and partners manually, without a unified method and systematic support.

What changes after implementation

The research office gains tools and scenarios to support researchers from idea to proposal and publication.

Pivot-RP Web of Science EndNote publication strategy workshops research office support
04

Quality and trust

Originality, publication ethics, checking policies, DOI, metadata and trust in research processes.

Institution challenge

Text checking is often treated as a formality rather than part of academic integrity culture.

What changes after implementation

The institution can build clear policies, training and a transparent originality-checking process.

iThenticate Similarity Check Turnitin-related solutions ethics policies editorial training
05

Journals, DOI and metadata

Crossref, DOI, metadata, editorial infrastructure, archives, visibility and international requirements.

Institution challenge

A journal may have a strong editorial team but lose visibility because of metadata, website, DOI and workflow gaps.

What changes after implementation

The journal becomes more technically mature, clearer for authors and readers, and better represented online.

Crossref Sponsor DOI registration metadata consulting Elpub iThenticate Similarity Check ScholarOne
06

Innovation and IP

Patents, technology landscapes, novelty, competitors, standards, technology transfer and commercialization.

Institution challenge

R&D projects may start without a clear view of technology landscape, freedom to operate, competitors and patent risks.

What changes after implementation

The team gains a basis for sharper R&D decisions, IP protection and commercialization opportunities.

Derwent Innovation DWPI patent landscapes ST36.KZ competitive intelligence IP strategy support
07

Medicine, pharma and Life Sciences

Medical databases, clinical collections, drugs, molecules, trials, pipeline, regulatory and market intelligence.

Institution challenge

Medical and pharma organizations need educational knowledge, research data and R&D/market analytics at the same time.

What changes after implementation

The organization gains a stronger information base for education, research, clinical and strategic decisions.

08

Management analytics

CARM, local dashboards, national reports and monitoring for research, journals, patents and infrastructure.

Institution challenge

Data exists in different systems, but leadership needs a unified management language and clear picture.

What changes after implementation

Leadership gets a basis for prioritization, monitoring, presentations, audits and development decisions.

CARM local analytics AI reports organization audit library audit national dashboards
09

Training and implementation

Demos, trainings, methodology, user support and development of resource usage.

Institution challenge

Even a strong resource may underperform if users do not know scenarios and value.

What changes after implementation

Resources become part of real workflows: literature search, analytics, publications, grants, checks and learning.
