The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) has entered into a strategic relationship with the mission driven non-profit Impactstory. PKP and Impactstory will work together to support the adoption of open source software that enables a more open and diverse environment of scholarly activities. PKP and Impactstory will collaborate to develop, increase adoption and ensure the sustainability of alternative metrics tools and services based on open technologies.
As part of this new relationship, Impactstory is developing a free service, in conjunction with PKP, to deliver document-level metrics by leveraging the recently announced Crossref Event Data service. This new service will provide various measures of online activity including number of times a document has been mentioned on other platforms (e.g., Twitter, Wikipedia, etc); number of mentions by date; as well as any available information of each mention.
Concurrently, PKP will develop a new OJS plugin that will access the new service and display document usage information on the abstract page of any OJS-based journal.
