Beyond citations: understanding a journals’ performance against the backdrop of using altmetrics for gauging real-world impact.
Altmetric has launched the Journal Benchmark dashboard, the one-stop-shop that can revolutionize reporting and stakeholder communications. The goal is to easily and rapidly provide the metrics and context needed to demonstrate a journals’ success. The dashboard offers journals the possiblity to showcase success stories, value to stakeholders and support strategic thinking by evaluating competitive performance.
The dashboard’s interactive, engaging, and visual report goes beyond traditional metrics, allowing users to gain insights into the value of marketing campaigns and editorial strategies. Journals can access granular data allowing them to have a deeper understanding on how they are performing within subject areas, topics, geographies, etc.
The possibility of developing metrics and creating beautiful visualizations means it is possible to make precise comparisons between competing journals. And because the dashboard is enhanced with Dimensions data, it gives unique insights into journal author demographics, collaboration analysis and citation metrics.
In addition, the Journal Benchmark dashboard facilitates evidence-led decisions by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of journals while uncovering business opportunities swiftly. This streamlines the process, eliminating the need for time-consuming data analysis. Moreover, the dashboard enables easy evaluation of ‘what if’ scenarios for acquisitions, informing decision-making by assessing their potential impact on the portfolio’s strength.
