Data-intensive approaches to finding and predicting research outcomes for New Zealand health research
How can we use data science to measure research outcomes at scale? Can quantitative data be used at all to understand research's "impact" in its truest sense? In this presentation, we will share how—by asking the right questions, using the right data, and understanding data science's strengths and limitations—New Zealanders can measure their success towards achieving health research outcomes, and even forecast future success.
