Data science company Altmetric has announced the addition of worldwide patent data from IFI CLAIMS®, making it possible for users to more easily track the commercialisation and potential economic impacts of their organisations' research.
Records from 9 international patent offices are included as part of the integration, which so far has surfaced more than 750,000 citations to articles, books, clinical trials and other scholarly outputs from over 8 million patents. Patents filed from 1994 onwards are included in the initial release.
The citations from patents are combined with diverse attention data from sixteen other sources (including social media, peer reviews, and public policy) in the Altmetric Explorer, where they can be summarised, searched, visualised, and exported for use in organisational reporting activities.
The patents data can also be accessed via Altmetric badges and details pages, and are represented by a new orange colour in the Altmetric donut visualisation.
Patent offices whose data is indexed includes World Intellectual Property Organization; IP Australia; German Patent and Trade Mark Office; Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property; European Patent Office; United States Patent and Trademark Office; National Industrial Property Institute; Intellectual Property Office of the United Kingdom; and Netherlands Patent Office.
