- 4. Increase visibility and understanding of primary research and value to institution Demonstrate how primary research increases perception of institution’s value to trustees, donors and general public Have measurements to back up statements and reasoning
- 6. Understand research online visibility & value Demonstrate how primary research increases perception of institution reputation & value to community Have measurements to back up statements & reasoning
- 7. Funders looking for proof of “broader impacts” [often defined as “an effect, change, or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policies, health, the environment, etc.” ] Grant agencies and private donors want recipients to broaden dissemination to everyone
- 8. Journal impact factor is a citation ratio: number of cites in the current year to any items published in the journal in the previous 2 years and the number of substantive articles (source items) published in the same 2 years.
- 10. Altmetric (based in UK): supported by Digital Science division of MacMillan Science & Education Their mission: “track and analyze the online activity around scholarly literature” Measure the impact of research papers, books and datasets Track social media sites, newspapers, government policy documents and other sources for mentions of scholarly articles. View, Analyze and Report on metrics with Altmetric Explorer www.altmetricexplorer.com
- 11. The Altmetric donut visualizes sources of item discussions.
- 12. DOI: Unique ID assigned through registration agency Identifies content Provides persistent link to Internet location Publisher assigns DOI when article published electronically
- 13. Quality of the paper Quality of the researchers Whole story It’s only one piece of the conversation.
- 14. Identify social media attention not citing research article with a DOI or similar identifier Capture information easily from articles published without DOI
- 17. Sea Stars 2014 Plesiosaur 2011 New Species of Flies 2015
- 21. Altmetrics will never present the full picture or provide the entire answer – they are additional information to supplement your decision- making process Which altmetrics you use/are valuable varies depending on the objective of each research project Numbers provide a hint about where to look, the qualitative information is where the value lies

- As this gap has become wider, funders are now noticing that judging impact of research funded by them requires new tools, and the monitoring of new platforms. Need more evidence about attention their work is receiving Is funding going towards engaging work? What other areas are getting traction within alternative metrics? What are particular other funders getting traction with? Can new avenues for funding be approached, or engaged with?
- Not only that, but impact factors and citation counts are very laggy. Take several years to accrue -Don’t tell the whole story Provide only part of the impact profile of your research
- Because there are certain kinds of things that require metrics where traditional metrics fall short
- We track attention NOT impact! We cannot tell you if work is good or bad but rather we give you the fully auditable details so you can tell that story.
- So what is the donut? Overview designed to give a rapid, compelling impression of the type of coverage experienced by the various platforms. Point out the three major contributors
- The donut never tells you quality It measure attention. A high number or low number – as well as the colors around the donut – only make sense within a deeper dive into the data that altmetric provides You need the whole story. Reliance on the number is not enough. Altmetrics are ultimately about context. Context is not just how many citations and IF (althought that’s important) but who’s reading, where are they reading, why are they reading, what conversations are they generating and how is that forwarding the science?
- If we navigate to Explore Your Institution we can then navigate the institutional data by Author, by Department, or by journal subject, which we enrich using the ERA data from Australia. If we select an author, or a department, we are sent to a new summary page like the institutional one we saw at the beginning. We can save these views as Workspaces – and set up alerts on a daily or weekly basis, which I will do in a moment, Finally The custom groups tab also allows you to load collections of identifiers and create a collection of items which will immediately show any mentions that have been found for these items in the entire Altmetric dataset we have collected so far.
