Navigator can help streamline data collection, ensure data accuracy, and provide powerful analytical capabilities to extract meaningful insights from your research data.
How does Nature Navigator intend to help?
Research analysis tools are valuable for a wide range of projects, including academic research, market research, scientific studies, and business analytics.
Nature Navigator can support the following roles:
Editorial Role and validation of journal understanding: you could use this tool to gain insight into:
what's being published, and the trends and pace of publishing in certain research topics.
what topics you may encourage authors to write on or what collection you should be creating next. identify gaps to bridge, either through special issues or commissioning a paper, and formulate what they want in the journal to make it more informative and useful.
compare work to competing journals and explore what content engages the audiences the most.
Policymaker Role: You could use this tool to find up-to-date literature that supports reimbursement codes for digital health services under the X institution and generate reports or trends that back the formation of new policies.
Advisory Role:
When advising early-stage companies, you could use this tool to look up how much those companies have published in the peer-reviewed literature on their specific topic.
Also valid as a teaching aid for PhD students and academic researchers - it would help students find examples of studies similar to their research work, positioning them in an international context.
The tool can help assemble consortiums or collaborations for grant applications, which sometimes rely on knowing the right people in the right places.
Equity in Languages: The idea was brought up that if language barriers can be mitigated, such a tool would be beneficial in regions such as Latin America and the Middle East, where the local languages are more commonly spoken than English.
Reviewer / Expert Finder Role and Understanding Connections: The tool's ability to map out a researcher's publication network might be useful in understanding collaborations and connections within the research community and can be used as a means to identify potential reviewers for papers.
Personal Interest: you can use this tool to create a tile for topics of interest and to generate relevant reports based on those topics.
