Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, and Altmetric have announced the integration of Altmetric badges with the Esploro research services solution.
The Altmetric badges, which offer an at-a-glance summary of online engagement with each publication, will be added to research publication pages in Esploro, providing users with additional insight into the attention that each piece of research receives immediately following its publication.
The badges are a valuable addition to the measurement of research dissemination and influence available through the Esploro research services solution.
Scholarly institutions today aim to understand the impact that their research has on society. The integration of Altmetric badges will help provide customers with a broader view of this wider engagement, beyond traditional citation metrics.
Esploro enables universities to capture, manage, and expose their faculty’s output and data through a single platform, leveraging library expertise and technology. The solution provides users with intelligent data capture, automated population of metadata, and an easy way to showcase researcher profiles. The integration of Altmetric badges in Esploro will help researchers, institutions, and the public assess the broader engagement surrounding scholarly work directly within the institution’s researcher portal pages.
