Research at UW–Madison: a searchable, online tool for highlighting research

The research conducted by UW–Madison faculty and scholars over the last three years is impressive. UW–Madison faculty and scholars have: 
  • Published over 22,000 articles.
  • Presented at 1,900+ conferences.
  • Received 780 honorific awards.
  • Earned nearly 440 patents.

Overview of Research at UW–Madison website

The achievements of UW-Madison faculty and scholars are showcased on the public website Research at UW–Madison. The “research at a glance” information provides an overview, but there is more to discover. 
  • Search by topic, person, or department to learn about research and research projects. 
  • Review a map with more information about the locations of recent PhD alums worldwide, with over 25% residing in Wisconsin. 
  • Explore trending research conducted at UW–Madison. 

Research at UW–Madison highlights the achievements of our scholars, fosters research collaboration, and increases the visibility of our research to industry and foundations.  

How Research at UW–Madison website is populated 

The Research at UW–Madison website includes information from both public and campus sources. Academic Analytics compiles publicly available information on journal publications, citations, books, federal grants, professional honors, patents, and clinical trials. Data from UW-Madison on non-federal grants, courses recently taught, and technologies available for licensing through WARF are also included. Researchers can also request additions or edits. DAPIR manages the Research at UW–Madison site. 

You can read more about Research at UW–Madison and Academic Analytics at Faculty Scholarly Activity. If you have questions about this resource, connect with Scott Wildman, an institutional policy analyst in DAPIR.

Policy update: Release of Wiscard Data

The policy governing the release of Wiscard data to campus software applications has been revised. It now applies to all Wiscard data, including photos, IDs, and biometric data such as fingerprints and photographic likenesses. The use of this sensitive data must be approved by the Data Governance Council, which serves as the designated data steward. Questions about Wiscard data may be submitted to the council via the Data Issue Management Form.
