Dear Colleagues,

I am thrilled to announce the official launch of Academic Analytics! As of March 31, 2025, Faculty Insight profiles are live and research work is discoverable globally via the External Discovery tools.

As I shared in my March 13 update, Academic Analytics is a powerful platform designed to enhance our research community's visibility, facilitate collaboration, and streamline access to funding opportunities.   

The launch of this research tool would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of many individuals. On behalf of the Executive Sponsors, I extend my sincere gratitude to the faculty who participated in the pilot programs, providing invaluable feedback that shaped the delivery of this tool. I also want to thank the project team for their tireless efforts in configuring the system, developing training materials, and ensuring a smooth launch.

Faculty profiles are customizable. You have the ability to edit individual items, report an issue with an item, or adjust visibility settings. Please refer to the "access and customize your Faculty Insight profile" guidance. Additional guidance can be found in the Academic Analytics knowledge base.

If you have not already done so, I encourage you to log in and explore the capabilities of Academic Analytics. Training resources and support materials are available on the project webpage: research.ucr.edu/academic-analytics. 

Please contact ucr_aa_support@ucr.edu, with any additional concerns or questions. I am excited to see the value this platform will bring to our research community.
