~~Please excuse cross posting~~

Dear librarian colleagues,

I'm delighted to announce that Altmetric LLP has launched Altmetric
for Institutions, a web-based software application that enables higher
educational institutions to track and evaluate the online
dissemination and impact of their authored research.

Created with input from leading academic establishments around the
world, Altmetric for Institutions promises to deliver a much more
complete and timely picture of the broader impact of published
research than download or citation counts alone can offer.

Juergen Wastl, Research Strategy Officer at Cambridge University and
development partner for the new platform, commented;

"Altmetric for Institutions has so far proved a very useful tool for
monitoring and collating information on the attention that our
published research is receiving. It is invaluable in that we can
analyse and report on data that would otherwise take weeks or months
to collate - and in doing so can better support not only our
departments and faculties but also our research networks and
initiatives."

Please refer to the full press release at http://bit.ly/1q6Hu7D for
further details.

Altmetric for Institutions is now available for trial access - visit
http://bit.ly/1qyM0cD to find out more, or email [log in to unmask] if
you would like to establish a trial incorporating your institution’s
data.

Please also consider joining us for a demo this Friday, June 20 at
11am, eastern time. You can sign up here:
