Best Regards, Tom Gilson Associate Editor, Against the Grain Head of Reference, Emeritus Addlestone Library College of Charleston Charleston, SC 29401 -----Original Message----- From: Sara Rouhi <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 14:58:37 -0400 ~~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.
