The New Dimensions in Scholcomm: How a global scholarly community collaboration created the world’s largest linked research knowledge system

Digital Science and 100+ global research institutions have spent the better part of the last two years collaborating to solve three distinct challenges in the existing research landscape:

* Research evaluation tools are siloed in proprietary applications that rarely speak to each other
* The gaps amongst proprietary data sources made generating a complete picture of impact extremely difficult (and expensive)
