Research Institution Key Challenges
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
![Page 5: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Tools for Consideration
![Page 6: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Use Altmetrics Tools? Understand research online visibility & value
Demonstrate how primary research increases perception of institution reputation & value to community
Have measurements to back up statements & reasoning
![Page 7: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Funders and donors are noticing…
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

Going Beyond Citation Counts and Journal Impact Factors… altmetrics
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.
![Page 9: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What are altmetrics?
Why do they matter? They help tell a story
Justify
Quantify
Identify
Demonstrate
Discover
Measure
![Page 10: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
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

Attention Measure –> Donut
The Altmetric donut visualizes sources of item discussions.
![Page 12: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DOI or similar identifiers used to scan attention in social media & other online resources
DOI: Unique ID assigned through registration
agency Identifies content Provides persistent link to
Internet location Publisher assigns DOI when
article published electronically
![Page 13: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Altmetric Donut does not tell you…
Quality of the paper
Quality of the researchers
Whole story
It’s only one piece of the conversation.

What Altmetric tool cannot do Identify social media attention not citing research article with
a DOI or similar identifier
Capture information easily from articles published without DOI
![Page 15: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Navigate by authors, departments & journal subjects
Altmetric for Institutions lets you monitor, search and measure
conversations about publications by people affiliated with your
institution.
![Page 21: Vancouver metrics&libraries rph 9 28-15](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062820/58a95c8e1a28ab77408b693b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Things to keep in mind
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
