Evidence
The objective of these products is to assess the research performance compared with international benchmark values worldwide and/or relevant benchmark institutes. Research performance is measured based on a range of bibliometric indicators. Four key dimensions of performance are measured bibliometrically: output, impact, context and collaboration.
CWTS B.V. is an independent contract research organisation that provides high-quality research performance and evaluation studies. Leiden University's Centre for Science and Technology Studies forms the core of the company. This prominent institute has been an internationally recognised leader in this field for more than thirty years.

Performance Analyses
The CWTS Leiden Ranking
The Leiden Ranking provides advanced measurements of scientific performance of each university as a whole. The world’s 500 major universities are included. This service is easily accessible online and the site is highly interactive as it enables visitors to set their own specific ranking parameters.
Benchmark Analyses
Benchmark analyses are derived directly from the Leiden Ranking. They deliver a much higher level of detail based on a broader range of indicators. Benchmark analyses make it possible to make in-depth comparisons with the selected benchmark universities. A university’s scientific activity and scientific performance in terms of impact and collaboration are compared against a set of relevant benchmark units.
Trend analyses are also provided that show how a university’s scientific performance has developed over a specific period of time.

Individual researcher profiles
Individual researcher profiles are designed to characterise all bibliometric aspects of individual researchers’ scientific performance. This provides much greater insight than simplistic one-dimensional approaches to quantifying an individual’s scientific performance (e.g. h-index). These profiles are often used for potential awardees and principle investigators.
Journal Profiles
Journal profiles are bibliometric profiles of scientific journals. They furnish our clients with excellent insight into a journal’s positioning and standing within the scientific world.
Journal Indicators
Journal indicators measure the impact and visibility of scientific journals. Our indicators go beyond the regular journal impact factor to take field-specific citation characteristics into account. CWTS B.V. furthermore ensures that each journal is measured within the proper context.
