This paper presents three case studies describing the use of altmetrics across three research-intensive higher education institutions in the UK and USA. We conduct interviews to learn more about how altmetrics are applied by various teams in a university, with a particular focus on the use of tools built by Altmetric, including the Altmetric for Institutions platform. We interviewed a Research Support Services Librarian, Head of Research Information and a Principal Investigator. This is an exploratory study that seeks to find out more about the general awareness, application and potential for using altmetrics across a range of university departments. We identify exemplar use cases for wider adoption in institutions and uncover future potential use cases. The findings of this study are that although use of altmetrics is at a relatively early stage when compared to traditional bibliometrics, a number of professional groups are using the tools and underlying qualitative data to enhance existing processes. This includes monitoring attention to research papers in previously difficult to track sources, reporting to funders, inclusion in grant applications and offering alongside existing bibliometrics services. Potential limitations of the study are the focus on a small sample size in three large institutions and the use of a single tool. Interviewing a range of researchers across a number of institutions in order to highlight further altmetric use cases would develop the research further. The following case studies, however, offer a detailed insight into the current applications of altmetrics and Altmetric for Institutions.
Digital scholarship and the relocation of research dissemination from paper to the web has led to a growing body of conversation about research taking place online in a range of non-traditional sources. The momentum of the alternative metrics or ‘altmetrics’ movement – tracking attention to research papers across sources such as policy documents, news sources, blogs and social media – signals a demand to demonstrate the potential impact of a research paper much more quickly than is possible with traditional citations. Limitations of bibliometrics such as the Journal Impact Factor have also contributed to the need for researchers and higher education institutions to understand online attention to research. As a result, techniques for measuring attention to scholarly papers online are developing fast, with the introduction of altmetrics tools such as Altmetric for Institutions (Altmetric for Institutions), Impact Story (impactstory.org) and Plum X (plu.mx), providing software to enable users to extract data and evidence of online attention to research. Studies have demonstrated the way in which bibliometrics analysis, particularly the Journal Impact Factor, is limited (Kurmis 2003; Ogden and Bartley 2008) and there have been calls to improve the evaluation process, notably in the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) (ASCB, 2012). In addition, altmetrics open up the possibilities of tracking attention to other research outputs such as data sets – providing researchers with an indicator of engagement with research outputs beyond the journal article.
Research funders are increasingly calling on institutions to engage with the public about their research and subsequently demonstrate societal impact outside academia (Wellcome Trust 2014; National Science Foundation 2014; Research Councils UK 2014). Institutions must as a result design effective ways to illustrate and gather evidence about research engagement. The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) introduced an impact element to the Research Excellence Framework (REF), which was conducted across UK higher education institutions 2014. This assessment is fundamental for institutions in securing quality-related (QR) funding over a period of several years. REF 2014 incorporated this analysis of impact by requiring all institutions to provide impact statements for one in ten outputs submitted for assessment. This element accounted for 20% of the overall assessment score. The Wellcome Trust have also discussed the potential of altmetrics to ‘understand the impact of the work they support’, complement existing processes such as peer review and traditional bibliometrics analysis and help inform funding strategy (Dinsmore, Allen, and Dolby 2014). Inclusion of metrics in future iterations of the REF is also under discussion as part of the HEFCE task force undertaking the ‘Independent review of the role of metrics in research assessment’ (HEFCE 2014).
It’s important to emphasise that altmetrics signal online activity surrounding research rather than the quality of an output. Data collected by altmetrics providers act as an indicator of attention rather than the quality of the research. We should always dig deeper to the underlying qualitative data to understand the type of attention a scholarly output has received and to gauge the significance and potential impact of such attention.
Altmetric for Institutions launched in July 2014, enabling institutions to monitor and report on the reach and attention to research publications. The platform builds on the Altmetric Explorer and enables institutions to measure online conversations about publications by researchers affiliated with their institution. Altmetric is an aggregator of online attention to scholarly papers and each week captures hundreds of thousands of tweets, blog posts, news stories, policy documents and other content that mention scholarly articles, resulting in over 3.5 million scholarly outputs tracked across a variety of sources in the database as of March 2015. Altmetric for Institutions aims to fill that ‘evaluation gap’, (Wouters 2014) in order to demonstrate the broader societal impact of research and present this attention all in one place. It also addresses a number of institution-wide issues, including monitoring non-traditional attention to publications to inform impact analysis and investment decisions. Altmetric for Institutions also supports the gathering of evidence for data-driven assessments both internally and externally. A number of researchers have already discussed using altmetrics data in CVs to ‘tell the whole story about a paper’s influence’ (Kwok 2013).
We conducted three interviews to uncover practical approaches to using altmetrics currently in application in three universities, with a particular focus on the use of Altmetric tools, including the Altmetric for Institutions platform. We interviewed Dr Juergen Wastl from the Research Information Team at the University of Cambridge for the research office perspective. Scott Taylor, Research Services Librarian at the University of Manchester provided the librarian’s perspective. Professor Terrie Moffitt from Duke University was interviewed to present the researcher use case. Interviews were conducted over the phone and via email.
By sharing our findings we demonstrate the use of altmetrics in practice, in order to highlight current use cases and potential new developments for both application and development of altmetric tools. The results of this paper are not intended to be exhaustive due to the nature of an explorative case study across a small sample size. This study takes into account three use cases and we focus on the use of the Altmetric for Institutions tool. Conducting case studies with institutions of varying sizes across a number of tools would develop the research further. In addition, it would be important to highlight altmetrics use cases from additional groups such as communications offices, knowledge exchange professionals and alumni teams, and researchers of different levels and disciplines from early career researcher to tenured professor.
The University of Cambridge is one of the oldest institutions in the UK with more than 18000 students, 9000 staff, 1500 tenured academics, 3500 contracted research staff, 31 Colleges, 150 departments, faculties, schools and other institutions. The university received £332m in research grants and contracts in 2012/13 (University of Cambridge 2014) and is the highest UK recipient of European Commission research and technological development funding.
Dr Juergen Wastl is Head of Research Information at the University of Cambridge. The Research Information team is part of the Research Strategy Office, in the Academic Division within the institution. Working across all disciplines and faculties, and operating closely with researchers, departmental and research group administrators, network coordinators and research facilitators, the Research Information team is tasked with providing information and metadata relating to submissions for governmental returns. The team also provides administrative support for tools related to managing information about research funding, impact and publications. This includes Altmetric for Institutions, Research Professional – a funding opportunities database and Symplectic Elements – the research publications management system.
In addition, the team provides training and support for administrators and academics with an initial focus on enabling knowledge transfer within the institution. For example, running train the trainer sessions for department administrators who are then able to cascade further training down to researchers. The team also facilitates reporting at the institution to funders such as Research Councils UK and the Wellcome Trust on the outcomes of research funding grants. As discussed above, funders are increasingly requiring institutions to engage with the public about their research and demonstrate societal impact outside academia. This is an important element of the service provided by the Research Strategy Office.
Researchers and staff at the University of Cambridge were introduced to altmetrics via the Altmetric donut and accompanying altmetrics details that appeared alongside each article in the research information management system, Symplectic Elements, used by Cambridge for the REF 2014. Users also came across the donut visualisations on a number of publisher sites, and were keen to learn how they might be able to use altmetric data across the institution. Dr Juergen Wastl also reported there were a number of ‘early adopter’ researchers at various levels who were familiar with altmetrics, and had discussed the potential uses at Cambridge with the Research Information team.
Due to the importance of reporting outcomes to research funders, a key strategy at the University of Cambridge was to improve the way information about research impact could be collected and reported upon. Tasked with gathering and providing evidence surrounding the broader impact of the institution’s research, it was essential there was a process by which to identify and report impact activities to funders using reliable and auditable data. In the early stages, the team found that bringing together this impact evidence was a largely manual process and it was often difficult to locate, track and combine across sources and platforms. It was unclear how much valuable data was being missed, such as mentions of University of Cambridge research in policy documents. This data would then need to be reported to the appropriate funder in the required format. As a result, the team were motivated to provide researchers and administrators with appropriate tools to gather and analyse research impact data effectively. This would enable the institution to present the impact of their work clearly to funders, peers and broader society.
The Research Information team began by looking more closely at the Altmetric data in order to understand its coverage and establish how it could help in reaching their goals. Initially, the team worked to determine the distinction between altmetrics and traditional bibliometrics, the associated limitations and considered the additional insight altmetrics data could offer the institution in terms of identifying early attention to research papers. The University of Cambridge signed up to be a development partner on the Altmetric for Institutions product and worked closely with the team over a period of five months, giving feedback, testing data and provide directional guidance.
The University of Cambridge was particularly supportive of the inclusion of mentions in public policy documents. This, Dr Juergen Wastl noted, was a missing link between research and practice and shows a measureable impact that they were unable to capture through any other system. This information can now be uncovered and collated in the Altmetric for Institutions platform, and is vital for better evidencing the tangible societal impact of publicly funded research.
The Research Strategy Office has identified over 400 mentions of University of Cambridge research papers in the policy documents tracked by Altmetric to date. In some instances, this research had never been cited or shared elsewhere. Other examples, such as a paper published in The Lancet in 2014 (Ng et al. 2014) received 1258 mentions from a wide range of sources including a citation in an Oxfam GB Policy and Practice document (Oxfam International 2014) and 66 news outlets, 18 blogs, over 1100 tweeters and 88 Mendeley readers at the time of writing, thus demonstrating broad attention to the paper across a range of sources. The paper has received 79 citations, according to Scopus data accessed in March 2015. Here, Altmetric data portrays an alternative view of attention to research shortly after publication.
The University of Cambridge are keen to encourage inter-departmental working groups, and plan to use the subject filtering in the Altmetric for Institutions platform to identify where there might be opportunities for this analysis. This will help connect academics across different departments researching similar areas and enable opportunities for collaboration.
In a similar vein, the institution are also planning to conduct further network analysis and profiling; who are their departments working with globally, and who is talking about which research? This in turn will give them the opportunity to identify potential areas of development and enable them to adjust their strategy accordingly. For example, Altmetric for Institutions will help researchers to find potential collaborators by searching existing conversations about research and then forge links for research collaborations. The Research Information team intends to map these trends over time and to report on their progress in specific countries or communities.
Data held in Altmetric for Institutions will also enable the University of Cambridge to benchmark research outputs in a number of ways – for example comparing the volume and type of mentions in policy documents versus those found in traditional journal citations. The team will also be looking to see how specific disciplines and the institution as a whole compares to that of their competitors, making use of the full Altmetric database and all research outputs with online mentions to run this analysis.
The University of Manchester is the largest single site university in the UK, with over 38,000 students, 4000 academics and 1975 teaching-only staff. The University is divided into faculties, schools, institutes and hundreds of specialist research groups, all of which undertake multidisciplinary research. The university attracted £280 million in external research funding in 2013/14 (University of Manchester 2014a), from a variety of sources including UK research councils, charities, government departments, industry and commerce, and overseas.
Scott Taylor is a Librarian within the Research Services Team at the University of Manchester Library. The team provides academic support for research tools across the entire institution, and makes it their aim to recognise and implement new innovations that could most benefit research activity. The team provides a well-developed bibliometrics reporting service for researchers with dedicated staff, including reporting on publications data using a range of traditional bibliometric indicators drawn from SciVal. Library staff also provides training and communications support to researchers to advise on best practice when sharing and promoting information about research publications. The service is offered at all levels across the institution, including individual researchers, administrative teams, whole departments and senior management groups.
The Research Services team first became aware of the altmetrics movement via professional networks and through discussion on mailing lists. Scott also attended a meeting and demonstration with the Altmetric team, which prompted him to investigate Altmetric for Institutions further, and from there became an early adopter of the tool. The team were keen to extend the existing bibliometrics service and to offer an alternative view of online conversations around research.
A strategic aim of the Research Services team in the University of Manchester Library was to provide ways to identify outreach across Schools and faculty – with a particular interest in using a system that would offer insight into qualitative altmetric data alongside the quantitative numbers and scores. This would allow them to view the underlying mentions of University of Manchester research and understand the type of attention around their outputs. It was also important that the service would enable researchers to find and provide evidence of broader engagement more efficiently, particularly when submitting content for funding bids and when showcasing their research. The University of Manchester aims to position itself as a forward-thinking institution and is often an early adopter of new tools to support research activities. Key performance indicators (University of Manchester 2014b) were developed by central institutional strategy teams as a means to benchmark research activities at the institution. A significant key performance indicator is ensuring 20% of the University of Manchester’s research outputs are in the top 10% of cited papers in their field by 2020.
To be in the top 25 of the Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities by 2020.
To increase total research income by 30% by 2015 and to double it by 2020, ensuring an increase in both international and business income as a percentage of total income and an increase in Manchester’s share of UK research grant and contract income.
To improve the quality of research outputs, ensuring that 70% of staff are judged as world-leading or internationally excellent by peer review through REF or our own exercises, and to ensure that 20% of Manchester publications fall in the top 10% of cited papers in their field by 2020.
A weighted portfolio of measures monitoring invention disclosures, licences, spin-outs and other IP commercialisation activities, ensuring that the UMI group is also a value-for money operation.
Table 1 demonstrates how citation counts are integral to the University of Manchester’s measurement of research performance. This key performance indicator sits alongside additional measureable outputs including world rankings, research income and commercialisation ventures. It also reinforces the importance of REF rankings for the institution, with the goal of 70% of staff with world-leading (3*) or internationally excellent (4*) publications.
Altmetric for Institutions was first launched at the University of Manchester as a pilot project involving a selected group of administrators and faculty across several disciplines, giving the Research Services team the opportunity to explore the Altmetric data and the reporting functionality offered by the platform. This also helped the team to develop an understanding of potential use cases of relevance for their institution in the future. The Altmetric team hosted a workshop to train library staff and researchers on the platform and run through use cases.
As discussed above, researchers and administrators are facing increasing demands from management and government reviews to provide evidence of the broader impact and value of their work. Altmetric for Institutions is being used at Manchester as a place to access all of this data collated for each of their research outputs – with an at a glance summary which helps them identify notable, but perhaps little-cited, items within their own portfolios – an important step in making it easier to evidence non-traditional impact. The Research Services team is considering embedding summary departmental reports from Altmetric for Institutions alongside traditional bibliometrics reports put together for departments.
A key benefit for University of Manchester is the functionality to see all mentions for the institution, grouped by author and department, surfaced in the Altmetric for Institutions interface. It is this level of qualitative data, instead of just counts of coverage or mentions, and the capacity to search by institutional groupings, which make the information particularly valuable to them. Faculties are able to extract the material to include in impact reports or funding applications to add context and background to their submissions.
As well as their original institutional goals, the Research Services team found the data useful for a number of other applications – including its possible use in identifying journals that see a lot of attention, complementary to citation data when reviewing titles for collection development. Scott Taylor reported: “We can instantly see which journals in our collection have generated a lot of high-impact coverage over the last year, and identify others for faculty to review for future inclusion.” Furthermore, the team plan to use Altmetric for Institutions to identify papers to make open access in their institutional repository, Manchester eScholar Services.
The Academic Engagement Librarians team – responsible for liaison with specific Schools – intend to use the data to demonstrate to researchers the effects of their outreach activity. To this purpose, the Academic Engagement Librarians have set up automated summary alerts within the University of Manchester’s instance of Altmetric for Institutions, and will alert authors departments and department heads with information about additional coverage and online attention. The team aim to identify patterns and key sources of attention to help researchers form more effective strategies for future engagement. This will help University of Manchester academics identify key contacts to work with in future to ensure their research findings reach the relevant audiences.
Scott Taylor and the Research Services team now plan to roll out the Altmetric for Institutions platform more widely across all disciplines and faculty. This will be a collaborative effort in conjunction with the Altmetric team to provide training and education to their research staff to ensure a good understanding of what the Altmetric for Institutions data can demonstrate, and will continue to explore how the data can be best incorporated into their reporting structure.
Duke University is based in North Carolina, USA and is home to 3398 faculty, 14,850 students and a total of 35,998 employees and incorporates Duke School of Medicine and Duke School of Nursing (Duke University 2014a). The institution received over $1 billion (£700 million) in external research grants in 2013/14 (Duke University 2014b).
Professor Terrie Moffitt is the Knut Schmidt Nielsen Professor at Duke University and is part of Duke Psychology and Neuroscience Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Specialising in the interplay between nature and nurture in the development of problematic behaviours, she manages a team of twelve researchers at Duke and is also Associate Director of the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development study in New Zealand. In addition, Professor Moffitt oversees the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study, which monitors the progress of over 1,000 British families with twins. Professor Moffitt is often required to submit impact statements to funders across a number of publications from a lab or a funded project.
Professor Moffitt first discovered altmetrics when a student recommended the free Altmetric bookmarklet as a way of viewing altmetrics data for individual articles. She had also seen the Altmetric badges embedded in publisher websites. After using the bookmarklet, she contacted the Altmetric team asking how she could view the data for several papers simultaneously, in order to include in a lab progress report.
Interested in demonstrating the reach of her research internationally and simplifying the process of sending data to government funders on an annual basis, Professor Moffitt used the Altmetric for Institutions platform to address some of these pain points. She has included data exported from Altmetric for Institutions in a National Institute of Health budget report – communicating the attention her research projects have received. She has also used the platform to compare the attention to articles across different research disciplines. Altmetrics are also embedded on her CV.
In addition, Professor Moffitt has used altmetrics data to demonstrate where her research has captured the public imagination as well as having an impact in academic circles. A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (Meier et al. 2012) generated significant levels of engagement on Twitter, Facebook, in news outlets, Reddit, YouTube, in academic reference management systems such as Mendeley. Exposing this data surrounding public engagement with research alongside reference manager readership helps tell a broader story about potential impact.
By reading the underlying qualitative data held in the Altmetric mentions, such as mentions on social media sources, Professor Moffitt differentiates between members of the general public or the academic community when understanding the audience her work has attracted. She said, “we used to envisage the college professor colleague down the hall, but now that we can use altmetrics, we can see what kinds of readers are tweeting and blogging about our papers. We need to communicate with them in a different way.” She also said that being able to identify different types of demographics within an audience can allow researchers to “show evidence that their work is being noticed beyond the ivory tower.” After using Altmetric for Institutions, she was also able to see the international visibility of her research, by viewing the summary reports for articles and using the interactive Twitter demographics map, which enables users to break down Twitter data by country.
Professor Moffitt also described how altmetrics provide a useful timesaving tool for researchers upon which there is increasing pressure to keep full administrative records of their work, and report to funders and departments on the way in which their research is being shared and disseminated, reducing time for research and writing papers. She explained how she finds altmetrics data useful to analyse alongside traditional metrics, as the impression of impact can be more immediate.
Discussing the use of altmetrics by early career researchers, Professor Moffitt described the way in which new researchers can use the data in order to be recognised for contributions in their field. She argued that early career researchers are often at a disadvantage in terms of representation, as their recent research has not yet accrued high citation counts. Tracking altmetrics data helps maintain enthusiasm for their study programs, and can sometimes provide an ego-boost for “rapid positive reinforcement”. University promotion or tenure committees can also use altmetrics, Professor Moffitt described, particularly for early career researchers whose cases may be borderline in order to get a sense of how their research is gaining traction.
In terms of planning future use cases for altmetrics data at her institution, Professor Moffitt described how the tools could potentially benefit many other teaching and research departments at Duke University. In order to increase awareness of altmetrics and Altmetric tools, she has given several presentations to research colleagues and students. She also commented, however, that it would be useful to increase the coverage of paper mentions in policy documents released by government organisations, and that the search function could be improved for viewing this type of attention.
Professor Moffitt also recognises potential uses of altmetrics for undergraduate students. The data could be used as a teaching resource, to enable her students discover useful papers to read using altmetrics as a filter. She plans to set tasks such as searching for specific keywords around the subjects they are studying in the Altmetric platform, and encouraging students to create their own secondary reading lists from the articles they find. She explained this process of hands-on learning would enhance student motivation.
Our case studies provide evidence of altmetrics and Altmetric for Institutions in use at various institutional levels and across professions. We see examples of how altmetrics can provide a more complete indicator of impact when used alongside existing forms of peer review and traditional bibliometric analysis. A recurring example uncovered during our study was using the tool to report to funders – an application discussed by all interviewees. Gathering evidence for funders is clearly a prevalent activity within institutions and creates a driver to improve existing systems and processes in order to report efficiently. Processes to gather, report and normalise this data are of institutional significance as funders begin to consider metrics beyond traditional citations as a means of understanding research engagement.
By conducting multiple case studies, we found that institutional-level altmetrics platforms can benefit a variety of university departments and enable professional teams to augment current services. Librarians can use the data to extend existing bibliometrics support, particularly when helping faculty compare and promote the impact of research from different departments. Faculty, staff and students can filter the data down to a more individual level, and monitor the attention for specific publications. Research offices can use altmetrics to understand research engagement, report to funders, improve benchmarking activities and promote opportunities to find collaborators.
At the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester, we saw how altmetrics are embedded as part of the bibliometrics offering and the funder reporting support offered by each team respectively. Both institutions conduct world-class research, and it is in part the innovative approach taken by support services to adapt, which enables the institutions to draw upon and showcase the rich underlying altmetrics data surrounding their scholarly content. Furthermore, Duke University receives the most research funding of the institutions studied, standing at over $1 billion per year. This brings Professor Moffitt’s motivation to report efficiently to funders and researcher into focus, exemplifying the need to access altmetrics data in flexible, aggregated and visualised formats.
An additional core use case we found in the study was use of the tool to enable institutions to showcase engagement with research across a range of non-traditional sources. This includes both academic circles via metrics aggregated from sources such as Mendeley, and in broader society – for example in news sources, policy documents or social media. We also uncovered further use cases: Professor Moffitt’s description of embedding altmetrics data in teaching activities illustrates how students can make use of Altmetric for Institutions to contribute to curate data-driven reading lists within their assigned learning syllabus. The studies also demonstrate that altmetrics can provide immediate and relevant data to illustrate broader attention to research. This was evidenced in the University of Cambridge journal article, with hundreds of tracked mentions only four months after publication.
The University of Manchester’s approach to assessing research performance and engagement using key performance indicators also poses a potential new use case, by opening the opportunity to use qualitative altmetrics data to enhance this type of internal assessment. With the Manchester Research Services team running Altmetric for Institutions reports for departments, and using the data to inform collection development, this helps the library to answer questions and inform purchasing decisions. In addition, an interesting use case identified was using the data to identify popular papers to convert to open access in the institutional repository. The tool also helps Academic Engagement Librarians demonstrate the value of conducting research outreach work to departments, thus expanding the library academic liaison service, integral to building relationships with researchers and promoting library support.
Future research should investigate the way in which altmetrics are being applied in higher education institutions more broadly and across a number of tools. It would be valuable to conduct case studies with smaller institutions, for example with a humanities and social science focus to explore the ways in which altmetrics data and tools can be applied to uncover online attention to non-STEM research outputs. In addition, it would be beneficial to illustrate use cases from additional professional teams in higher education institutions such as communications offices, knowledge exchange staff and alumni teams. In terms of the researcher perspective, it is also important to understand the different applications of altmetrics data and tools at the various career stages and disciplines. Furthermore, it would be useful to see the tangible outcomes of using altmetrics data at an institutional level in order to measure demonstrable improvements for institutional benchmarking, researcher funding applications and the success of library research support services.

These are very useful case studies of how Altmetrics can be used by institutions: just the sort of thing I was looking for but could not find in the literature last year! I particularly value the case study of the researcher's use where the tool enables her to plan how to communicate further about her research, thus not only measuring engagement/impact but also possibly helping to achieve it. The researcher knows best the context of the altmetrics data.
The authors are right to suggest that further research is necessary into the use of other altmetrics tools, as it is noticeable in the paper that all three case studies are using the same company's tool.
From reading this paper, it seems clear that altmetrics have a key role in identifying broader impact of research papers. Some more discussion of how impact is variously defined by funders and evaluators of research, and of how else that impact might be measured, beyond altmetrics and other indicators based on papers (eg other activity undertaken by researchers) would add to the picture.
For those wishing to expand beyond the scope of this particular paper, Kristi Holmes wrote a great blog post here: http://libraryconnect.elsevier.com/articles/2014-05/going-beyond-bibliometric-and-altmetric-counts-u... where she discusses using Plum Analytics and identifying indicators that are beyond the things that are easy to count.
I hope The Winnower will more prominently feature author conflicts of interest, as this article about Altmetric for Institutions is written by at least one Altmetric employee (the second author has no affiliation that I see). I have no competing interests.
These three case studies are rather limited, so the authors appropriately recognize this and do not make unsupported claims. In addition, despite the conflict of interest, the authors mostly focus on altmetrics (with a small "a") rather than what this particular tool can do. The authors do a good job describing the advantages of altmetrics, such as capturing inbound links to a variety of research objects (not just articles), and emphasize that altmetrics are not a proxy for research quality. From an institutional perspective, altmetrics offer a clear advance in uncovering evidence of impact, particularly from policy documents. Some skepticism about finding potential collaborators seems in order. In many institutions this information might already be known to the researcher; in addition, it seems dependent on the subject categorization system. For libraries, the use of altmetrics in identifying open access opportunities is an interesting one, since university PR offices often don't link or link to a paywalled version of attention-getting articles. On the other hand, I'm skeptical altmetrics will be of much use in collection development. I think the researcher, Dr. Moffitt, may be an exception. I wonder how many researchers will dig into the data, and I'm even more skeptical that T&P committees will use altmetrics directly. However, the authors show that others will be helping researchers in order to save their time, particularly in the research office and library.
In relaying these case studies, the authors cannot be expected to ask the larger questions that came to my mind while reading this. For example, should all research be expected to have some public impact, and in what time frame? Is the increasing quantification of research and researchers a good thing? These are subjects for other articles, but the authors here have done a good job of giving a basic outline of altmetric uses.

QuickTime X, also commonly referred to as QuickTime 10, came on the scene with the introduction of OS X Snow Leopard. QuickTime X represented a leap in the version numbering, jumping from 7.x, which had been around since 2005.
QuickTime is both a media player, able to handle video, pictures (including panoramic), QuickTime VR (a virtual reality format), and audio, and basic multimedia capture and editing app. It probably sees the most use as a video player, allowing Mac users to view various video formats, including movies made on iOS devices or downloaded from various video sites.
QuickTime X offers a more streamlined interface than QuickTime 7.x and much more robust performance. It also has the advantage of combining some of the features of the old QuickTime Pro package; specifically, the ability to edit and export QuickTime files. As a result, QuickTime X lets you capture video from any cam attached to your Mac, perform basic editing functions, and export the results in a number of formats that can be used by your Mac or iOS devices.
While Apple gave us some nice new features, it also took something away. If you were a heavy user of the earlier version of QuickTime Player, you may have relied on QuickTime to automatically start playing (Autoplay) whenever you opened or launched a QuickTime file. The Autoplay feature is especially important if you use your Mac and QuickTime in a home entertainment environment.
The new version of QuickTime lacks this handy feature, but you can add the Autoplay functionality back to QuickTime X using Terminal.
Type or copy/paste the following command into the Terminal window.
There is only one line of text above. Depending on the size of your browser’s window, the line could be wrapping and appearing as more than one line. An easy way to copy/paste the command is to triple-click on one of the words in the command line.
If you later decide you’d rather return QuickTime X to its default behavior of not automatically starting to play a QuickTime file when you open or launch it, you can do so by once again using the Terminal application.
Enter the following command into the Terminal window. You can use the triple-click trick to avoid having to type the entire line.
Although QuickTime X has been included with every version of OS X since Snow Leopard, Apple has kept QuickTime Player 7 up to date (at least through OS X Yosemite) for those of us who have a need for some of the older multimedia formats, including QTVR and Interactive QuickTime Movies. You may also need QuickTime 7 for more advanced editing and export functions than are available in QuickTime X. QuickTime 7 can still be used with QuickTime Pro registration codes (still available for purchase from Apple's website).
Before purchasing QuickTime Pro, we recommend that you download the free QuickTime 7 Player to ensure it still works with the version of OS X you have installed on your Mac. The latest version we've tried it with is OS X Yosemite.
QuickTime Player 7 can work alongside QuickTime X, although for some reason, Apple chose to install QuickTime Player 7 in the Utilities folder of the Applications directory (/Applications/Utilities).

Access to a private Facebook group to connect with other activists for accommodations, travel etc.
Furthering animal rights as the most pressing issue of our time!
An email will be sent to all registrants once the schedule has been released. Register Now to receive updates.
+ What exactly is a Cube of Truth?
A Cube of Truth is a peaceful street activism demonstration that employs direct action with the public. Through video footage and conversation, we educate the public about the cruelty inherent in the meat, dairy and egg industries. The demo is a symbolic act to show solidarity for animals who suffer every day of their lives. It also represents hope, because there are activists around the world who dedicate their lives to fighting for animal rights.
Both sides of a Cube are powerful for everyone involved. Being in a cube wearing a mask and watching people’s reactions has a large emotional component, as does directly participating in outreach. The simplicity and effectiveness of our demonstrations have successfully convinced about 160,000 people so far to take the cause seriously. We keep a tally of these numbers at each of our events.
+ What is there to do at night and in the early morning?
There will be organized hangouts to get to know your fellow Cubers, as well as a Powerhouse Workshop and campaign briefing on July 12th hosted by the AV founders. An official event agenda with details will be emailed to all participants who register. Once you register, you will also get access to a private event Facebook group so you can arrange your own meetups.
+ Should I bring my own laptop or tablet?
Download these clips and these clips to be shown throughout the week.
Make sure your devices are fully charged before each of your sessions. There will be limited charging stations provided.
Masks and signs will be provided!
+ Why do I need to be identified for this event?
For large events like these, we may require identification for the following reasons.
Security. We need to know who exactly is attending our event in order to avoid potential issues with volunteers who we know nothing about and better manage the risk of infiltrators.
Credibility. Our campaigns involve wearing masks, and animal rights activists are known to be labeled terrorists (which is ridiculous) but from an event management perspective, being identifiable will help to do away with the stigma. Local police will take our event a lot more seriously to know that we have this information.
Your identification details will be securely and exclusively stored with us and only used if necessary. Upon completion of this event, your identification details will be discarded.
+ Is it possible to go to the bathroom somewhere?
Yes, there will be public restrooms and restaurants in which you can use.
+ Are food and beverages provided?
Yes, we will provide every activist with a food/drink stipend and there are restaurants with vegan options close by.
This event is rain or shine. We want to show how serious we are about our intentions. In case of rain, laptops / tablets will either be protected by umbrellas and cover boxes or we will move to a roofed area near the demonstration site.
We will be creating a Facebook group where you can meet fellow activists to room together and find affordable accommodations.
+ Can I join if I have never attended a Cube of Truth?
Of course, we welcome everyone! There will be a briefing at the beginning of each 3-hour shift to make sure everyone is on the same page and knows what to do. We have experienced organizers who are trained to help new activists with everything they need.
+ I can't come to New York, but how can I help?
Putting on such a large event requires a lot of time, dedication and passion. We kindly appreciate all donations.
If you are financially not able to donate then please SHARE this campaign on social media to help us reach those who can.
Adopt a dignified, open, friendly and empathic attitude towards anyone we encounter. We will follow the instructions of the organizers and authorities.
Bring weapons, use verbal or physical violence, damage or vandalize property, use drugs (including alcohol) or behave in a way that is in conflict with U.S. law (if you are unsure whether or not something you plan to do is in conflict with the law, ask an organizer).

EU member country citizens have basic data privacy rights. And iVPN sees the pending abolition of the EU Data Retention Directive as a step in the right direction. But the real question is whether EU citizens can really be safe from internet and other forms of surveillance if the European Court of Justice rules to kill the directive.
Privacy advocates and organizations like Digital Rights Ireland have been fighting the directive since 2006. If it is abolished, it will be a great victory for privacy activists. The governments of Germany, Sweden and Romania will also be justified by this. They refused to follow the directive and were fined for it. But this will prove that their ruling, despite the pressure and punishment, was just after all.
But abolishing the Data Retention Directive may not be the victory that it seems. The directive has been deemed to allow authorities too much leeway in terms of gathering personal data about EU citizens. This must be changed to protect their private identities. But the directive will stay in place until an alternative directive is written up. We can only hope that the new directive will respect basic privacy rights and freedoms of expression. The new directive will also need to limit how people’s data can be used if this change is going to be a real victory for privacy advocates. Meantime, iVPN recommends that EU citizens do not yet let go of their VPN protection. The data collection methods are not in question, and ISPs are still instructed to collect user data. This is not likely to change even if a new directive is proposed.
EU citizens still need a top VPN service to help them keep their data and activities private. Mass surveillance and data retention will go on, by the looks of it. And people need to stay alert to the fact that any data that is gathered and stored poses a potential risk. It can be manipulated and abused by anyone who gets their hands on it. The only way to stay safe is to stay behind a reliable VPN.

Im Yoo-na, well known as Girl Generation’s (SNSD) Yoona, is famous for her beautiful face and good fashion style. Her hydrated, flawless, and clear skin proves that Yoona is a goddess of beauty in the South Korean entertainment industry.

According to Yoona, the key to having nice skin is cleaning our skin regularly with a skincare routine and make it a habit.
The important skincare product that Yoona uses often is the facial mask. She also applies a facial serum after washing her face.
“I think applying a facial mask once a day has a lot of benefits. Then, after washing my face, I apply a facial serum. It acts as a cushion to even out the skin tone,” from Yoona’s interview at the 2017 Innisfree Wonderland event in Jakarta.
Honestly, Yoona unveiled that she has dry skin although her skin looks so hydrated and glowing. Her secret method is to mix two or three drops of face oil with a moisturizing cream and applying them all over the face.

There are several airlines offering direct flights from Sydney to Rotorua which is a great way to start your New Zealand holiday.
Arriving in the centre of New Zealand’s tourist zone means you’re straight into the cultural hub of the nation. But you’ll need to find a way to get around and see the sights of this unique city. The easiest way to make the most of your stay is to book one of the Rotorua Airport rental cars that can be ready for you as you leave the airport. The convenience of a rental car can’t be underestimated. It’s an ideal way to see Rotorua and the surrounding area, spending as little or as much time as you like at each venue.

Going To the Rugby World Cup 2011 in Rotorua? Airport Rental Car Booked?
With three Rugby World Cup games being played at Rotorua International Stadium, there will be high demand for vehicle hire including Rotoura airport rental cars. If you have tickets to one of these games, have you arranged your transportation for getting around? For those arriving into this central north island city’s airport, a rental car could offer an affordable and convenient way of getting around.

• Kiev forces are in mass retreat in Peski (it was is described as a bloodbath), Mariupol is about to undergo a Novorussian offensive, Airport is still (contrary to Ukrainian propaganda and lazy main stream media reporting) under Novorussian control.
• After defeat, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has announced that Kiev is ready to participate in consultations of the trilateral contact group with the parties that signed the Minsk agreements.

This was an intense book. Bock took on a hard subject and handled it in such an impressive way that this book will be sticking with me for a while. This is a book that will get people talking.
This book was extremely realistic and that makes it all the more shocking. To think that this book, while a work of fiction, is true in many ways was extremely powerful. I felt so much for Skylar, the shy girl who doesn’t want to lose another person in her life. She knows if she goes along with the lie, she will be able to keep the people around her. But if she tells the truth, she will be losing several people important to her.
I know some people might have a hard time with the multiple points of view, but I found them extremely helpful in understanding how this hate crime affected the town. You see the truth eating Skylar and Sean alive, and how Lisa Marie can delude herself. You see into the mind of the town and how this one event can disrupt the lives of so many not directly involved. I only with there had been Jimmy’s point of view, even if it was only a short little blurb.
I think this is a book that everyone needs to read because it opens your eyes and makes you think. It’s a powerful book that I will definitely be recommending to anyone that will listen to me.

With 2017 about a month away, everyone is looking to make resolutions. For some people, it might be hitting the gym a bit more, finding a new job, or spending less money. Search engines, however, have a different 2017 agenda.
Here are three major trends to look for in 2017 as search engines continue to improve the online user experience.
Personal Branding. We’ve all heard of corporate branding (think Nike, Apple, Pepsi, etc.), but these days it’s all about individuals. YouTube for instance has hundreds of self-promoted, self-made stars who have all taken advantage of personal branding. But personal branding can be used by large businesses as well via guest blogging.
Dense, Succinct Content. There needs to be a balance between thin content and content that’s as extensive as the Oxford English Dictionary. There’s a lot of thin content out there, but there’s an equally as large amount of posts that are way too long. Users have a short attention span, so if you have something important to say, say it succinctly and make the content dense (i.e. — no fluff).
Improved Site Navigation. Search engines are increasingly weighing organic rankings based on load times and mobile responsiveness. This means web developers and search engine optimizers need to make sure their sites load times are fast and mobile responsiveness is on point. Depending on the type of website building platform, this can be easier said than done and you may need to recruit the services of an SEO company.

Dear Readers: We at ELV planned on doing a CJ’s v. Salt Lick ‘cue smackdown, but on two recent occasions have been put off by Salt Lick’s emptiness and weird hours (opening at 2:00 PM on Saturdays?). It has all the signs of some place that’s not sticking around, so we decided to highlight the superior ‘cue at CJ’s.
Quite frankly, we’d forgotten how good CJ’s is. Moist, peppery brisket (that we wish was a bit more peppery and a bit smokier), perfect chicken and righteous ribs (all for $17 including one soft drink), only served to remind us what a rip-off RUB was (is).
Skip the thick, dark sauce (that could be used to frost cakes in a pinch), and dip your meat into the vinegary, hot stuff.
Added bonus: jalapeno cornbread that you’ll want to eat lots of, and brisket chili spiked with those same jalopy peppers that takes a back seat to no bowl in town.
And did we mention the whole kit and kaboodle came to $17.22?
CJ’s is the real deal! The spicy sauce is perhaps the best Ive ever had. Dont care for the beans, but all tother sides are very good!
What about CJ’s vs Lucilles? I would drive across the valley for Lucilles!
It’s good, for Vegas BBQ. But it’s still not the real thing. Try going to any BBQ place anywhere in the Great State of Texas, and you will always have pickles, onions, and jalapenos to go with your meal. It’s almost unlawful to have BBQ without the three! When a place in town starts to offer these then I might have to rethink my statement. The best part of CJ’s is Big Red and Blue Bell Ice Cream!
Have you tried TC’s Rib Crib?
Re: #4 jason: What about TC’s Rib Crib…their meats taste like they’ve been frozen and thawed out. CJ’s has always left me wanting more. The only good thing I’ve had at TC’s is the baby back ribs and a few of their sides were good. At CJ’s, everything I’ve tried is tops.
Used to have great beef ribs; replaced them them with something I’ve never seen before; not at all tasty…… good brisket and chicken. OK if you live in the neighborhood, but not worth a drive!

That was how U.S. President Donald Trump explained the stunning breakdown in nuclear talks between him and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi on Thursday.
He said the talks at the second summit, some eight months since the two leaders’ landmark first meeting in Singapore, had been derailed over the U.S. side’s refusal to completely ease crushing U.N. and unilateral sanctions.
The North’s last nuclear test, in September 2017, was also its sixth and largest. Its last ballistic missile test was in November that year, when it tested a long-range missile that experts say is capable of striking much, if not all, of the continental United States.
But Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Washington asked Kim “to do more. He was unprepared to do that.” Pompeo also noted that “timing and sequencing issues” had failed to meet the expectations of U.S. negotiators.
“We just felt it wasn’t appropriate to sign an agreement today,” Trump said. Neither Trump nor Pompeo noted what exactly Kim had refused to do, but the president indicated the North Korean leader wouldn’t agree to proceed as far toward abandoning his nuclear program as the U.S. demanded in exchange for sanctions relief.
In Tokyo, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe praised Trump after the news for “not striking an easy compromise” on the denuclearization issue.
The prime minister also said Trump had explained Abe’s stance on the issue of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korean agents during the one-on-one meeting with Kim.
“Next, I myself must face chairman Kim Jong Un” to resolve issues related to Japan, he said.
Abe has made addressing the issue of Japanese nationals kidnapped by North Korean agents in the 1970s and 1980s one of his administration’s top priorities.
“While sanguine publicly, the Abe government would have been worried about the prospect of Trump cutting a side deal with Kim that limited threats to the continental U.S. … but not those to Japan in the form of Nodong delivery systems,” Andrew O’Neil, an expert on North Korea and a professor at Griffith University in Australia, said in reference to intercontinental ballistic missiles and shorter-range Nodong weapons that Tokyo views as a top threat.
At his news conference, the U.S. leader also said Kim had offered to dismantle North Korea’s Yongbyon nuclear facility, but “it wasn’t enough.” Pompeo said even without Yongbyon, the country would still possess missiles, warheads and other elements of a nuclear program that were unacceptable to Washington.
The president also acknowledged publicly that the U.S. was aware of more than one nuclear fuel enrichment site across the country, something he said had surprised the North Koreans.
Dismantling those sites — or at least acknowledging their existence — was likely high on the White House’s wish list.
Malcolm Davis, a senior defense analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute think tank in Canberra, said the sites’ existence meant the North could dismantle Yongbyon and still continue to develop its nuclear capabilities with impunity.
Speculation had grown in recent weeks that the two sides would agree on a nonbinding declaration ending the 1950-53 Korean War, which was halted only with an armistice, as well as setting up liaison offices, diplomatic posts that are more limited than embassies. Both moves would have marked a large step in normalizing ties.
But the declaration, although symbolic, could have been spun by Trump as a major foreign policy victory as he faces mounting pressure at home over investigations into Russian meddling in the election.
Trump now returns to Washington just a day after the president’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, described him as a “racist,” a “con man,” and a “cheat” — though he had told the truth when he said there had been “no collusion” with Russia — in bombshell testimony before Congress.
Victoria University of Wellington’s Jackson said that Trump was “clearly distracted by what’s going on with Cohen” during the negotiations.
As for the possibility of future talks, Trump did not rule out that they could happen, but noted pointedly that there was no timeline. Still, he said the summit had ended amicably with a handshake before the two leaders departed.
Pompeo also attempted to put a positive spin on the events, saying “the departure was with an agreement” that the two sides would continue negotiations, and that they are “closer” to an eventual deal.
Earlier in the day, Trump had touted his discussions with Kim, stressing that he was in “no rush” to push the North to relinquish its nuclear weapons program and emphasizing that his administration had switched tack from demanding the North quickly give up its nukes to taking a “longer-term” approach.
“Speed is not very important to me,” he said, adding that it was more important to “do the right deal” over dismantling Pyongyang’s arsenal.
However, he acknowledged at the post-summit news conference that Kim “has a certain vision” of denuclearization that differed from the U.S. position.
“It’s not exactly our vision,” he said, “but it is a lot closer” now.
Trump had repeatedly touted the U.S. and its allies’ abilities to pour development cash into the poverty-stricken country as the most powerful tool in his arsenal before and during the talks. But experts noted that economic carrots had long failed to entice the Kim dynasty, which built up its nuclear program as part of a deterrent preventing regime change.
On the issue of human rights, Trump was asked by reporters about the case of American college student Otto Warmbier, who died after being detained in the isolated country. Warmbier’s parents have insisted that the Kim regime was at fault, but Trump said he did not believe the North Korean leader was himself aware of Warmbier’s death.
“He tells me that he didn’t know about it, and I will take him at his word,” the president said.
Warmbier, a 22-year-old University of Virginia student from Ohio, was visiting North Korea with a tour group when he was arrested and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in 2016 on suspicion of stealing a propaganda poster. He died in June 2017, shortly after being returned to the U.S. in a coma.
The North is known for its abysmal human rights record, but the issue has largely taken a backseat to the issue of denuclearization in the two countries’ talks.
Now, with both parties having to return to their respective countries with nothing to show for their efforts, experts said the relationship could enter into a deep freeze.
“I think we’ll be in a twilight zone for a while, but I also think this is the end of any serious bilateral nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and DPRK under this administration,” Griffith University’s O’Neil said, using the acronym for the North’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
O’Neil said the risk with that scenario is that Kim will embrace a narrative that the U.S. “stabbed North Korea in the back” and that he has little choice but to accelerate the nuclear and missile programs, possibly through resuming weapons testing.
“If the latter occurs, Trump will feel compelled to act and we could see ourselves back in the second half of 2017,” he said.
Still, he said a more likely sequence of events would see Pyongyang and Washington entering into a holding pattern of sorts for the foreseeable future.
“The denuclearization agenda has been effectively shredded — Pyongyang has refused to engage at any point with an accounting of its program as a first step to verification — so it’s hard to see what possible rationale there would be for Trump and Kim to meet again,” O’Neil said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The average New York family - already struggling to keep their homes and protect their jobs in the middle of a debilitating recession - would be hit with a nearly $4,000 tax hike as a result of the 137 tax and fee increases Gov. David Paterson proposed this week, according to a new report issued today.
The analysis was done by the Assembly Republican Ways and Means Committee and made available by Assembly Republican Leader Jim Tedisco. The analysis also shows that the tax hikes could lead to the loss of 1-in-10 jobs in New York.
The report reinforces the concerns raised by the non-alcoholic beverage industry that the 18 percent tax hike on regular soft drinks and the 5-cent-per-container tax on bottled water and juice will further imperil family budgets as well as the good-paying jobs with benefits the industry provides in communities large and small.
"It's mindboggling that in the middle of a recession, the governor would impose a $4,000 tax hike on the very families who can least afford to take on this financial hit," said Kevin Keane, senior vice president for public affairs at the American Beverage Association (ABA), which represents the non-alcoholic beverage industry. "In an economy like this, the last thing that government should be doing is raising taxes on hard-working families."
The ABA strongly dismisses as a façade the state's claims that the soft drink tax is meant to prevent obesity, as singling out one product is not going to make a dent in such a complex problem as obesity. Science and common sense do not support the assertion that soft drinks uniquely contribute to obesity. Serious efforts to combat the real challenge of obesity would center on helping families eat all foods and beverages in moderation and getting them up and exercising more, particularly our increasingly sedentary children.
Furthermore, if the governor's tax policies were really intended to address obesity - rather than just grab money - he wouldn't be taxing health club memberships as well.
"Let's be realistic. This is purely a money grab from hard-working families who have no money left to grab in this tough economy," Keane said. "It's disturbing to see some perpetuating the myth that taxing one product will make a difference in obesity, or even contribute to fighting the problem. It won't."
The beverage industry in New York provides a hand up to the economy at a time when other industries are coming to government for a hand out. It supports 160,000 good-paying jobs with good health benefits, with many of those being union jobs. The industry also has a direct economic benefit of $7 billion to the New York economy and an indirect benefit of $25 billion.
State government needs to address its budget crisis the same way hard-working families are coping with their budget troubles: by tightening their belts and spending less. Instead the governor is passing the buck - actually 4,000 bucks - to the hard-working families of New York, already struggling through tough economic times.
The American Beverage Association is the trade association representing the broad spectrum of companies that manufacture and distribute non-alcoholic beverages in the United States.
