Altmetric and Nottingham Trent University ink deal

Posted by Misha Kidambi on 4th August 2023

Nottingham Trent University (NTU)  has signed a deal to use Altmetric Explorer with the aim of improving measurement and reporting of social media and alternative metrics and reporting on the societal impact and dissemination of its research.

With Altmetric, NTU will be able to support its research strategy, impact development, dissemination of research findings, and provide an evidence base of broader research activities beyond traditional publication.

Altmetric Explorer for Institutions tracks social attention by detecting links and citations to research in non-traditional literature such as patent documents, policy papers, and news, blogs, or Wikipedia mentions. Moreover, it tracks sharing and discussion of research on various social media platforms. The attention is then aggregated in a large searchable database which can be used to track the attention and impact of published research or a research topic. This can be done for individual researchers or an entire institution, down to the department level. To date, 256 million mentions have been found for over 20 million publications.
