Altimetric presentation at the 2015 November ORCID Outreach Meeting in San Francisco (3-4 November 2015)

1. Connecting Altmetric:
Who We Are & How We
Integrate

2. Peer-­‐reviewed
research
is
more
openly
available
than
every
before:
Everyone
can
read
and
engage
44K
online mentions of
scholarly articles
every day.
1 mention every
2 seconds!
50K unique articles are
shared each week.
>4.1M
articles with tracked
attention data.

3. Meaning
the
audience
of
engagement
has
expanded
beyond
just
scholars
Practitioners General Public
Professional
Communicators
Interested Parties
Scholars

4. Developing academic services to
support digital scholarship…
…to drive research innovation and
enable open research.
Literature reviews,
resources and
training
Grant
applications
and funder
reporting
Open access
and
dissemination
Research data
management
Evaluation and
impact
assessment

5. An
alternative,
more
immediate
measure of
attention
From non-
traditional
sources
To provide
a larger
context
What are altmetrics?
Not a replacement but
a complement
Policy documents,
blogs, mainstream
news, social media
Providing a multi-
faceted picture of
engagement

6. Altmetric is a data science company that tracks
attention to research outputs, delivering output
level metrics via visually engaging, intuitive
interfaces.
Who are we?

9. TradiHonal
metrics
take
Hme
to
accrue:
Lagging
indicators

10. Reliable Auditable Interoperable Meaningful
A huge part of that lies in the technical
infrastructure.
Altmetrics should be…
Accurate

11. CONNECTING
Integrating Altmetric for
Institutions with external
publications systems

12. Integrating with Symplectic Elements
o Low barrier technical setup for end users
o Regular updates via API
o Altmetric badges integrated in Elements interface
o Departmental hierarchy, author papers

13. Integrating with figshare in 2016
o Altmetric data will soon be
added to figshare
o Metrics along with views and shares
o Regular updates via API

15. Integrating with publishers, institutions, etc.
Where will you see our badges?

16. Building a profiles connector
o Populated Altmetric for Institutions using VIVO profiles
o Stony Brook University School of Medicine embedded
badges in researcher profiles alongside publications

17. DEVELOPING
Some plans and improvements
we’d like to see across the
scholarly community to enhance
altmetrics data…

18. • Prototype app
• Encourage researchers to register for an ORCID and improve author
search
Altmetric and ORCID integration

19. • This
team
consisted
of
MaI
MacLeod,
Maciej
Gajewski
and
ScoI
MaIhewman
of
Altmetric
and
Ben
Blackburne
of
Papers.
Their
code
can
be
found
at
hIps://github.com/amconference/altmetric-­‐orcid-­‐profiles
and
a
test
version
is
running
at
hIp://altmetric-­‐orcid-­‐profiles.herokuapp.com/
• Given
an
ORCID
ID
(such
as
Jean
Liu’s
above),
their
web
applicaHon
will
present
a
profile
of
that
person’s
papers
with
any
relevant
altmetrics
data,
giving
a
breakdown
of
their
menHons.
Altmetric and ORCID Mash-Up From the
first 1:AM
London
Hack
Day!

20. •
A
recent
blog
post
highlighted
interviews
with
6
researchers
from
around
the
world
and
how
they
were
integraHng
Altmetric
data
into
their
workflows:

• Egon
Willighagen
found
the
Altmetric/ORCID
app
saved
Hme
as
he
“did
not
have
to
look
up
the
staHsHcs
manually…it
uses
my
ORCID
profile
to
get
the
DOIs
and
aggregate
stuff”.

21. See the App in action!

22. ORCID Integration in the Altmetric Explorer
Authors with an ORCID will be able to quickly
view all of the conversations about their articles
in one place.
Beneficial for authors
Coming soon: Search by ORCID in
the Altmetric Explorer
You’ll soon be able to enter an
ORCID into the Altmetric Explorer
and quickly see which of the
associated research outputs have
been mentioned online.

23. Promotion of ORCID in our Training
Material!

24. Thanks!
