What is this metric used for?


The Did you know helps to identify some competitors you may have not yet identified on the searched topic.


By using scientific production (articles, theses, conferences, etc.), intellectual property, networks, projects, clinical trials and web visibility of research companies, it is possible to identify new competitors.




How is the graphic built?


The graph highlights the number of possible competitors related to a specific search. 

This selection is based on scientific production (articles, theses, conferences...), IP, networks, projects, clinical trials and visibility of the players. 

Each of these criteria is also analyzed via a technology graph according to several weights related to volumes, dates, scientific recognition, visibility, etc.
