Case Study: Institution of Engineering and Technology boosts research intelligence with Copyright Clearance Center's Ringgold Organizations

Institution of Engineering and Technology powers Inspec Analytics with Copyright Clearance Center’s Ringgold Organizations for 22 million records

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) needed to develop a new research intelligence tool, Inspec Analytics, but faced the challenge of unstructured and messy organizational affiliation data within its Inspec database. This inconsistent data prevented the IET from accurately presenting organizational output and collaborations for its users. To solve this, the IET partnered with Copyright Clearance Center and leveraged its Ringgold Organizations service.

Using Copyright Clearance Center's Ringgold Organizations, the IET gained access to standardized, hierarchical organizational data with unique identifiers. This provided the backbone to clean, structure, and map its affiliation data, saving significant time and resources. The solution enabled the successful launch of Inspec Analytics, which led to consistently increasing traffic and strong subscriber renewals by providing users with valuable insights into global research trends and institutional comparisons.
