Academic Analytics

What is Academic Analytics?

Academic Analytics (AcA) is an online, subscription-based database that the University of Denver utilizes for information and metrics on scholarly activity. AcA contains different modules with their own unique functionalities.

Department heads, chairs, and deans have the opportunity to gain access into the Research Insight module to help locate funding opportunities and potential honorific awards. They will also utilize the Analysis on Demand module to run honorific award reports.

It is important to highlight that while AcA is a comprehensive database, it should never be the sole basis for decision-making at the University of Denver.
