Community of Science (COS) Pivot database answers the growing demands on research developers to quickly discover the right funding opportunities and effectively collaborate with their colleagues. Pivot combines a comprehensive, editorially maintained database of funding opportunities worth an estimated $33 billion with a unique database of 3 million pre-populated scholar profiles, drawn from Community of Scholars and Community of Science profiles. Its algorithm compiles pre-populated researcher profiles unique to an organization and matches them to current funding opportunities in the COS database. This allows users to search for a funding opportunity and instantly view matching faculty from inside or outside an institution. Conversely, a search for a scholar will link to matching funding opportunities.

Measure Your Research Impact With the HS/HSL
Are you interested in learning more about measuring the impact of your research? Collaborate with a faculty librarian to quantify your research impact for promotion, tenure, or grant applications or to otherwise gauge the impact of your work. We can gather data that measure research impact, using metrics such as h-index, citation counts, journal impact factor, and alternative metrics for individual researchers or for a group or department. We will provide you with a report tailored to your needs.
To learn more about our service or to request a consultation with a librarian, please see our Research Impact Guide.

Librarian Co-Authors Correlated with Higher Quality Reported Search Strategies in General Internal Medicine Systematic Reviews
An article in the February 2015 Journal of Clinical Epidemiology found that, “Systematic reviews with librarian or information specialist co-authors are correlated with significantly higher quality reported search strategies. To minimize bias in systematic reviews, authors and editors could encourage librarian engagement in systematic reviews including authorship as a potential way to help improve documentation of the search strategy.”
Librarians at the HS/HSL are expert searchers who can support faculty investigators in conducting comprehensive literature searches for systematic reviews. Are you planning a systematic review? Our Systematic Review Service can help!
