Collexis - Find Hopkins Biomed Experts

About Collexis - Find Hopkins Biomed Experts

Collexis is a subscription tool that allows users to identify JHMI faculty biomedical experts and their publications by area of expertise, based on their published output indexed in PubMed. Homewood biomedical faculty will be added to the JHU Collexis account in the near future. Collexis facilitates faculty research and project collaboration. If the answer to any of the following questions is yes, Collexis can likely help you:

• Do you need to put together multidisciplinary teams to tackle translational and big-science research projects?
• Do you have trouble keeping up with the constant influx of new faculty and post-docs who might be working in an area related to yours?
• Might there be a JHU investigator, focusing on a complementary phase of the bench-to-bedside lifecycle, who is working on the same problems as you in a lab or clinic just a few hundred feet away?

• Research Profiles

In Research Profiles, profiles of scientists are generated by aggregating the "conceptual fingerprints" of published papers in PubMed. Using the Research-Profile interface, you can answer such questions as the following: How many investigators at JHU are working on one of the trinucleotide repeat disorders? Which proto-oncogene protein is being studied by the greatest number of JHU cancer researchers? Which JHU ophthalmologists have the most experience using Fluorescein angiography as a core diagnostic procedure in clinical studies?
• Institutional Dashboard

The Institutional Dashboard provides a novel, visual query-interface that allows you to mine the Dashboard's intuitive, hierarchical interface by MeSH keyword, author, journal or publication type. Seamlessly alternate your view of the data via an intuitive tabbed interface. Graphical elements instantly highlight publication trends over the previous decade, as well as keyword usage, enabling rapid and sophisticated filtering. Answer questions such as the following: Who at JHU published the most in Nature, Science and NEJM? What is the top disease studied when researchers at JHU conduct Phase-III clinical trials? Who is the most prolific JHU author on the phenomenon of chromosome deletion - As observed in pair 9? In pair 18? Considering all chromosome pairs?
