In 2010, the first seed grant review working group decided to assess the value and impact of NAKFI's seed grants by combining bibliometric analyses with a peer review and dialogue assessment process. Bibliometric methods have been used in the evaluation of large-scale initiatives and can be especially useful when combined with other approaches such as conducting personal interviews, content analysis, or peer reviews of research papers.

The remaining articles were published in journals associated with subject categories such as Engineering, Neurosciences & Neurology, Urology & Nephrology, Biology & Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Life Sciences & Biomedicine-Other Topics, Materials Science, and Physics. Ten of the 14 papers acknowledged NAKFI funding.

In 2005 NAKFI conducted an analysis to benchmark the integration score of 22 subject categories. A random sample of 100 papers published in the Neuroscience subject category had an Integration score of 0.60 and a sample of Engineering-Biomedical papers had an average Integration score of 0.69 (Porter, Roessner, & Heberger, 2008)

Web of Science can also be used to explore bibliometric results of all journal articles listing NAKFI as a funding source. BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF PUBLICATIONS CITING NAKFI FUNDING Previous evaluations of NAKFI seed grants revealed that grantees are inconsistent in acknowledging NAKFI funding in their publications.

The Multidisciplinary Sciences subject category includes journals such as Science, Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Astrophysical Journal Letters, and Biotechnology Advances. Examining the subject categories with less concentration of papers shows the breadth of journals where NAKFI-funded papers appeared, including Sociology, Psychology, Paleontology, Mycology, Health Policy Services, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Communication, History, Philosophy of Science, Ethics, Nutrition Dietetics, Women's Studies, and Urban Studies.
