Inspec Analytics
Inspec Analytics is a dynamic research intelligence tool based on the IET’s Inspec database. Using semantic enrichment, Inspec Analytics enables research professionals to explore beyond the literature in Inspec to identify and compare research trends across thousands of organizations and scientific concepts at both local and global levels. With these insights, users can set the direction for their research outputs and monitor their impact.
A link to search Inspec Analytics appears on the EBSCOhost or EBSCO Discovery Service results page and in each detailed record. Users can click the link to launch Inspec Analytics in a new browser window.
Inspec Analytics is a winner of The Charleston Advisor’s Eighteenth Annual Reader’s Choice Award for Best New Product/Service.
