Title: Dimensions and Altmetric – an end-to-end “one-stop-shop” for academic and societal impact and DORA metrics.
Abstract:
As a signatory of DORA, most of the things that drive research excellence are not captured by the existing narrow set of lagging indicators in the market. Fostering research excellence means exploring what really makes a university, department, or broader research culture successful. In the session, you will see examples of universities are using Dimensions and Altmetric to:
- Capitalize on their university’s unique areas of strength.
- Develop and recruit talent that supports areas of excellence and future growth.
- Move on from absolute metrics, and understand relative position vs peers and industry.
- Move beyond lagging indicators – for example, integrate and explore connections across data from more of the research lifecycle incl. grants, clinical trials, patents, policy – to get ahead of trends.
- Work across the university and develop faculty buy-in to drive university-level strategic goals.
- Help their faculty perform research that delivers on national policy/funding/impact goals.
