Who is citing your research? Where is it being discussed? Is it appearing in policy documents or clinical guidelines?
Each question reveals a different part of the story. Bringing those answers together can help institutions show where their research is reaching academic audiences and where it is being used or discussed beyond academia.
Join Patty Smith, Product Specialist for Altmetric and Dimensions at Digital Science, for a practical walkthrough of how the two tools work together. Starting with a grant number, Patty will follow the resulting publications, explore their citation performance and collaboration networks, and examine their wider attention in policy, clinical guidelines, news, social media and podcasts.
The session will finish with examples of visualizations and short narratives that bring these findings together for institutional reporting and research communications.
What you’ll learn
- Find a grant in Dimensions and explore its associated publications.
- Identify leading researchers, examine citations and map international collaborations.
- Use Altmetric to explore references in policy and clinical guidelines, alongside coverage and discussion in news, social media and podcasts.
- Combine these findings into visualizations and narratives that communicate research reach, engagement and influence.
