Mayo Publications Dashboard Updated to Power BI

The Mayo Publications Dashboard provides data about publication activity by Mayo Clinic staff and students at the department, division, and campus levels. This tool, built initially in Tableau, has been updated to Microsoft’s Power BI platform for increased performance and easier access. The new interface will be launched on September 19th, 2024.  The existing dashboard site at https://librarypubdashboard.mayo.edu will be updated to use the latest Power BI interface at that time.

The new interface will offer all the same features as the original Tableau version:

• At-a-glance counts of publications by Mayo authors based on trusted, verified data at the department, division, and campus level
• Filtering of publications by year, publication type, campus, division, and department
• Reports that include complete citation data can be easily sorted and exported in multiple formats

The data that drives this dashboard is derived from the Mayo Authors database, which tracks publication activity at the author level. All publications in this dashboard have been indexed in major scientific databases and carefully attributed to Mayo staff. All citations in the Mayo Authors Database are confirmed through searches in the CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Full-text copies of these publications are available via a built-in linking system.

The original version of this dashboard required a Tableau Viewer license. The new Power BI-based version does not require any additional software or credentials.
