Friends and colleagues!

If you're heading to the Charleston Conference, please consider signing up for this hands-on altmetrics workshop featuring Colleen Willis of the National Academy of Sciences, Robin Champieux of OHSU and myself. We will be talking about how we gather, analyze, and apply altmetric data to help faculty and institutions understand and tell their research impact stories. I will demonstrate how to mine Altmetric.com data - Altmetric for Institutions - SO BRING YOUR LAPTOPS! 

Full description is below and the program page is here:  http://sched.co/3WL9.  Hope to see you there!

Institutions and researchers are facing increasing pressures from management, funders, and governmental reviews to demonstrate impact and engagement beyond academia. While demonstrating this impact continues to be challenging, the growth of online scholarly communication combined with advancing technologies offer us the ability to understand the reach and impact of research in ways that were never before possible.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore how altmetric tools can be used to analyse data such as mainstream media mentions, cites in policy documents, blogs, and social media in order to garner a much richer picture of the eventual outcomes and impact of research.  The session will be focused on the data, data sources, and strategies for investigating complex impact questions.

The session will cover the following topics and activities:
. Explanation of altmetric data, how it is collected and how it should & should not be interpreted
. Activity to demonstrate the ways in which researchers, librarians, and research administrators can use the altmetric data and applications in their work activities.
. Demonstration of how attendees can perform detailed and extensive analyses by making use of data exports or the Altmetric API.
. Review different ways to integrate altmetrics into your institution's existing platforms.
