Altmetrics to track the impact of datasets
There are many good reasons why researchers might track the impact of their datasets. To provide supplementary evidence of influence for the next grant application or performance review or promotional opportunity. Or to track impact on the academy, on industry, on society or public policy. Could people or organizations engaging with a dataset become potential partners or collaborators? Altmetrics provide quantitative evidence of impact or influence by reporting scholarly and social online engagement with research datasets. They can be tracked using a range of services, from the more traditional citation databases to data and institutional repositories, and of course from altmetrics aggregator services. But we need to be careful not to create additional administrative burdens on time-poor researchers and also of the limitations in data citation practices or the lack thereof. One way we can achieve the former is to harvest altmetrics into our institutional repositories or data discovery services, saving time for the researcher by providing a systems solution.
