The Race

The graph shows the overall ranking of your competitors and your company on a topic. The overall score is established by aggregating 6  metrics, each with a percentage of importance.

To be readable the graph is normalized to 100 (the first of the race having the score of 100).

Metrics are distributed as follows :

Metric %
Experience 15%
Momentum 8%
Network & Influence 15%
Patenting Activity 30%
Scientific Activity 30%
Buzz 2%

Experience

Analysing  scientific and technical production of your competitors, it is possible to position everyone’s experience on a topic.
 
Experience combines 2 parameters : Date of publication and regularity of the work to date.
 
Parameters are distributed as follows :
Parameter %
Date 80%
Regularity 20%

Momentum

Analysing  scientific and technical production of your competitors, it is possible to position everyone’s momentum on a topic.
 
Momentum combines 2 parameters : Amount of recent works  and acceleration during last years.
 
Parameters are distributed as follows :
Parameter %
Recents works 80%
Acceleration 20%

Network & Influence

Analysing  scientific and technical production of your competitors, it is possible to position everyone’s Network on a topic.
 
Network combines 5 parameters : Centrality of each player, size of the network, reach of the network, diversity of partners and participation in collaborative activities (projects…).
 
Parameters are distributed as follows :
Parameter %
Centrality 25%
Size 50%
Reach 10%
Diversity 5%
Collaborative activities 10%

Patenting Activity

Analysing  patents fillings of your competitors, it is possible to position everyone’s patenting activity on a topic.

Patenting Activity is based on amount of patents filled on a topic.

Scientific Activity

Analysing scientific works, clinical studies and research projects of your competitors, it is possible to position everyone’s scientific activity on a topic.

Scientific Activity combines  :

  • Number of published documents
  • Sum of the scores of its documents (all types)
  • Diversity of scientific works

Buzz

Analysing web sites and web contents of your competitors, it is possible to position everyone’s buzz and communication on a topic.

Possible Competitors

The list of possibles competitors includes companies or organizations that have published scientific document(s) or filed patent(s) or participated to project(s) or clinical trial(s) or communicated on topics  related to your search.

Organizations are ordered by default by relevance. 

The relevancy of an organization is mainly based on the following indicators:

  • Number of published documents (all types of documents)
  • Sum of the scores of its documents (all types)
  • Centrality in the query network : the centrality is an indicator based on the number and distance of connections of a node in a network.
  • Diversity of scientific works (number of different types)
  • Sum of the scores of the company web pages

Emerging

The list of emerging competitors includes Start-ups that have published scientific document(s) or filed patent(s) or participated to project(s) or clinical trial(s) or communicated on topics  related to your search.

 Start-ups are defined by the number of employees below 250.

The relevancy of a Start-up is mainly based on the following indicators:

 

  • Number of published documents (all types of documents)
  • Sum of the scores of its documents (all types)
  • Centrality in the query network : the centrality is an indicator based on the number and distance of connections of a node in a network.
  • Diversity of scientific works (number of different types)
  • Sum of the scores of the company web pages
