🌼 R-daisy: A Synthetic Performance Dashboard for AHSCs

R-daisy is a strategic tool designed for academic managers, research directors, policy-makers, and public or private funding institutions. It provides a concise and interpretable single-score indicator that summarizes the research performance profile of each Italian Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC).

The name “R-daisy” metaphorically reflects the structure of the indicator: each petal of the daisy represents one of the key dimensions of research performance, derived from a rich and multi-source dataset:

• 📚 Bibliometric dimension (e.g., scientific productivity, impact, collaboration)

• 🌐 Social and digital dimension (e.g., online attention, altmetric score)

• 💡 Industrial impact & Research innovation (e.g., patent production and technological domains)

• 🧪 Clinical research activity (e.g., number, phase, and funding of clinical trials)

• 💶 Funding and grants (e.g., grant volume, funding sources, success rates)

Each of these dimensions is based on rigorously harmonized metadata from sources like OpenAlex, Dimensions, and Altmetric, and contributes to a transparent and reproducible performance synthesis.

The R-daisy score is not publicly accessible: it is reserved for authorized stakeholders who submit a formal request (e.g., institutions, government agencies, or funding bodies). Access will be granted on a case-by-case basis.
