Validate your publishing decisions and shape successful strategies

Give stakeholders an at-a-glance view of journal performance and success, and uncover valuable data to help shape your strategy

Now more than ever, marketing professionals need to demonstrate the reach and influence of publications to their stakeholders, from the editorial board to authors. 

So they must be able to evaluate journal performance – and show that their work is succeeding. 

And analytics professionals also need to support internal stakeholders, by building a 360-degree view of all the organization’s journals to help with decision-making. 

But whether you’re in marketing or analytics, tracking down the data you need is time-consuming. Making sense of it is complex. And because traditional methods miss important online audiences, getting a true picture of performance is a real challenge. 

Until now, with the Journal Benchmark Report. 

This customizable dashboard makes it quick and easy to track journal engagement, benchmark progress, and go beyond a narrow citations-based view to discover the bigger global picture. 

It uses altimetrics combined with the largest research database Dimensions, to give you an unprecedented level of detail and insight – presented in a visual, shareable report that’s easy for you and your stakeholders to digest. 

You’ll be able to:

• benchmark a journal’s true performance against others
• make precise comparisons, even in niche areas
• see global mentions of your journals in social media, the news or policy documents
• go beyond a narrow citations-based view and discover the bigger global picture
• gain a broader understanding of how your journal’s performance is translating research into real-world impact
• access robust data in a few clicks, designed to help you validate business decisions and effectively shape your strategy
