Altmetric Explorer

Altmetric Explorer tracks the number of mentions of your research online, in the news, government publications (policy documents), patents, as well as blogs, Facebook and Twitter. These alternative indicators of impact are called altmetrics. It is not just about the numbers, altmetrics is also about what is being said and by whom.

With Altmetric Explorer you can:

• See where, what, when and how often a publication is discussed on the web (article, dataset, chapter of a book, report, etc.)
• Identify the most effective channels to promote your research
• Discover which policy documents (worldwide) refer to your publication(s)
• Download data that you can use for reports required for things such as grant applications
• Find out what other researchers are publishing and identify what you might want to promote further
• Identify who is discussing research by UvA the most in a given field and thus establish strategic partnerships;
• Manage the reputation of your organisation
