Introduction to altmetrics - for Research Postgraduates and University Staff
This session forms part of the Reading Researcher Development Programme (RRDP) for Research Postgraduates, and is also available to University Staff.
Alternative metrics, or Altmetrics, can measure the reach and impact of your research articles by measuring social media attention such as Twitter activity, Facebook likes, blog posts and Wikipedia entries. Find out how to use Altmetric Explorer to keep up-to-date with the trending papers in your field and also track attention to your own research outputs. Discover the difference you can make to the reach of your research papers by blogging, Tweeting and sharing your research online. This session will include hands-on training with Altmetric Explorer.
If you are a Research Postgraduate, please book your place through Reading's Student Information System (RISIS). The timetable can be viewed on the RRDP webpage in the 'Things to do now' section. You can also view a full timetable in the Doctoral and Researcher College site on Blackboard.
If you are University Staff, please book your place via UoRLearn.
