Pre-Populated Researcher Profiles Data is integrated from existing public and private source systems, eliminating redundant administrative effort on behalf of end users. Automated MEDLINE/PubMed author disambiguation discovers publications for your researchers, including articles they wrote at other institutions. Users (or their proxies) can manually add or correct the information in their profiles.

Automatic Creation of Social Networks Connections are formed when individuals share common traits such as co-authoring a publication, researching similar topics, being in the same department, or working in the same building.

Social Network Analysis Multiple data visualization methods are available to explore the networks of both individuals and groups of researchers. Common measures of "centrality", such as "degree" and "betweenness", are calculated automatically by the software.

Authoritative Data Source Web services allow information stored within the Profiles RNS database to be used by other applications, such as departmental websites, faculty activity reports, or publication repositories, thereby creating a single consolidated authoritative data source that eliminates duplication within your institution.
