Data science company Altmetric and the Association of University Presses have announced the launch of a new data-driven pilot. This three month project has been devised to offer editorial, marketing, communications, and other stakeholders within the presses, the opportunity to familiarise themselves with Altmetric data.
As part of the pilot, six university presses: Johns Hopkins University Press, Penn State University Press, Temple University Press, University of Hawaii Press, University of Toronto Press, and University of Wisconsin Press, will be provided access to the Altmetric Explorer, a cloud-based interactive platform which contains attention data for over 11 million published research outputs.
With a particular focus on tracking attention to books, access to the Altmetric Explorer will enable the presses to easily see where their content is being shared and commented online in sources such as the mainstream media, academic and social networks, policy outlets, post-publication peer-review forums and Wikipedia, amongst others.
Users will also be able to see where monograph titles have been reviewed in the press or included in teaching Syllabi at institutions around the world. Advanced reporting and search functionality provides the ability to compare and benchmark attention against that of other publishers.
These valuable insights into how and where publications have been discussed online will allow the presses to inform and refine editorial, marketing and business strategies.
