• Engagement & Impact:

Thousands of conversations about scholarly content happen online every day. Altmetric tracks a range of sources to capture and collate this activity, helping you to monitor and report on the attention surrounding the work you care about.

Through an ANU subscription, you now have access to Altmetric Explorer for Institutions (EFI), which tracks non-scholarly attention to scholarly outputs enabling you to:

• understand audience engagement with your research outputs to identify potential partners/users
• build narratives related to track record for use in grant applications and promotion rounds 
• make strategic publishing decisions
• benchmark researcher and research output performance beyond traditional metrics
• report on research uptake and reach to funders and stakeholders
• use data insights for strategic decision making at the individual, research group, department and university level.

Visit https://anu365.sharepoint.com/sites/AltmetricatANU for more information, to learn how to register and to get started using Altmetric Explorer for Institutions.
