Altmetrics offer new and powerful ways to track research impact and engagement beyond traditional methods like citation counts and impact factors.
Read about our experiences as an early adopter of the ‘Altmetric for Institutions’ application on the Altmetric blog.
And if you’re on campus then check out the application by visiting Altmetric Explorer.
The Library is working in partnership with Altmetric LLP to trial their new ‘Altmetric for Institutions’ application. We’re really excited to be one of the first Universities to have access to the platform which provides powerful insights into the online attention that our researchers’ outputs attract.
So far we’re getting lots of positive feedback which we’ll share when we write up our experiences of the trial later in the year.
In the meantime, if you’re a member of staff or a student at The University of Manchester and would like to take part in the trial please get in touch to find out how.
