RESEARCH ANALYTICS
Florida State University has partnered with Academic Analytics to offer tools for our community of academic leaders and research faculty to highlight scholarship and share expertise on trending research topics at the university and across the globe. These tools are designed to communicate the excellent work of FSU faculty in addition to providing resources for faculty to engage on trending research topics, build collaborative networks, connect with external partners and funding opportunities, and strengthen understanding of FSU's impactful and distinctive research portfolios. These tools are an extension of an existing partnership between FSU and Academic Analytics that spans over a decade to support data-informed higher education administration.
