thrilled and excited to uh share
one more site uh which you can see it
right in front of
all of you in this particular video
presentation of mine
and it is called as
academicmicrosoft.com
home so uh you know the first
introduction that you can see
is that it's a microsoft academic
number one that means everything that
you uh associated
with the academics is available in the
microsoft and i need to thank
microsoft company also for this kind of
a thing uh
then you have got on the uh upper tab
just below the uh web browser you can
see
it has got a microsoft academic on your
left hand side and if you come to the
side you will see
a sign up and sign in and just below
that research

which i really liked it
research more search less oh my god
okay so we will see explore entity
analytics now just
i don't know how many of you are
interested
or got exposure to google analytics here
microsoft has given it to us you don't
have to separately log
in and here you can see it talks about
publications no i don't know
how you're going to uh refer to this
number i'm very poor at this
so you can calculate all by yourself
authors oh my god
others are more than the publications if
you can compare these two things
together then you have got
topics uh this is seven two nine comma
three zero six that is
um seven lakhs twenty nine oh my god
and a four thousand five hundred twenty
seven conferences so
if you really would like to see and get
the knowledge
about the conferences you can click on
this and you can see

was a different number so every day it
is increasing
and the number of institutions is twenty
five thousand eight hundred fifty nine
institutions are there unleash the
semantic power
