Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of Kentucky Department of Integrated Strategic Communication is a 5-PI network with 0 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Social Sciences as the leading field (50% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels), Sociology and Political Science as the leading subfield (50% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels), and Consumer Behavior in Brand Consumption and Identification as the leading topic (17% of slots across 1 PIs; 1 labels). That is a weak collaboration signal, so the page is better read as a faculty inventory than as evidence of a connected department. The top weighted PIs are Jihye Kim (3.5 weighted works; no topic labels). No internal PI-to-PI collaboration edge is visible in this period. No multi-PI collaboration group is visible in this period, a concerning sign if the department expects a connected internal network.
