Explorer for Funders
Enhance your reporting and analysis with altmetrics insights
Uncover the full story of the research you support
At the heart of any research project is the aim to make a difference, to have a real-world impact within society.
Altmetric data can help you identify early indicators of these impacts, making it easy to track and report on where and why the research you fund is being discussed online by academics, practitioners, the general public, advocacy groups and more.
Monitor the outputs of specific grants and benchmark the influence each project achieves across the mainstream media, on social and community platforms, and in the formation of public policy.
