The Altmetric Explorer is an intuitive platform that enables you to monitor the online active surrounding academic research. Using Dimensions as well, you will be able to drill down to see what grants and patents have generated published work, as well as seeing how researchers are connected.

As an attendee of ESSS, you will be able to use both the full Altmetric and Dimensions databases, to be able to track work from Universities, Funders and Publishers.

Some of the things you can achieve by using these systems include:

1. Analyse the citation corpus

2. Track influence as it happens

3. Ensure effective reputation management

4. Support your researchers

5. Inform strategic decision making

6. Report on outcomes and trends

7. Improve grant application success

You can use both the Explorer and Dimensions to run reports and analyse attention on research that matters to you, you can do this by creating custom shareable reports, exporting your saved searches to CSV files to create additional graphs, using the API to do more in-depth reporting as needed.

You will receive access to the Altmetric Explorer and Dimensions soon, which will give you access for the length of the Summer School.
