Measure and amplify the impact of your research: new webpages

These new webpages provide information about a range of tools that provide metrics on the impact of:

  • you as an individual;
  • your works, or the works you consider using to support our own research.

They also include introductions to some tools we are trialling to help you find, understand and increase your impact:

SciVal uses data from Scopus and Science Direct to give access to the performance of research institutions and individual researchers worldwide. It also enables you to visualise performance, benchmark, develop partnerships and analyse trends.

Altmetric collects mentions of scholarly articles from across the Web by gathering attention from newspapers, blogs, social media, and more and presents it as a score.

Kudos allows you to annotate your paper for multiple audiences and use inbuilt tools to promote your work using social media. Integrates some data from Altmetric and other altmetrics sources.

We hope these pages help you to understand more about how to measure and amplify the impact of your research. If you want any help or advice, or have any feedback about the pages or tools, please email researchsupport@kent.ac.uk.
