Altmetric

Altmetric's interface tracks online engagement to reveal how and where research is making a difference, so a team's influence is tracked, explained and visualized. It captures online attention to published research across social media, news outlets, policy documents, patents and clinical guidelines, and collates it so medical affairs and publication teams can monitor, report and showcase the attention around the research they care about.

Expert Identification

• Find the right KOLs for a therapeutic area with the KOL and Rising Star dashboards, which search millions of expert profiles with Dimensions data. They reveal rising stars and digital opinion leaders (DOLs) such as HCPs and patient advocates, show each person's reach, reception and resonance, and map collaboration networks.

Share of Voice and Online Conversation

• Reveal scientific share of voice with the Share of Voice dashboard: how a team's publications and trials are discussed online next to competitors' publications, and what HCPs, patients and researchers think of them. Altmetric Sentiment Analysis uses AI to analyze the opinion expressed in online mentions.
• Track mentions in Altmetric Explorer, which collates online attention to research articles, clinical trials and datasets across social media, mainstream media, policy and patents in one platform.

Publication Impact and Planning

• Measure a publication's impact with the Publication Impact dashboard: benchmark it against similar publications in its therapeutic area and journal averages, and assess whether it reached HCPs.
• Choose where to publish with the Journal Selection dashboard, which compares journal performance within therapeutic areas on traditional and social metrics, and monitor the real-world influence of medical research through Clinical Guidelines data.
• Report attention to stakeholders: Altmetric Attention Digest generates AI narrative summaries of a research output's attention, and embedded Altmetric Badges reveal where publications are discussed online.

Data Access and Custom Analysis

• Use Altmetric data in the organization's own workflows with the Altmetric API, and give AI agents direct, real-time access to it with the Altmetric MCP, which scales from a single DOI to an entire research portfolio.
• Commission custom analysis from Altmetric Consulting Services, whose data analysts build bespoke dashboards and reports on scientific share of voice, sentiment and key opinion leaders.

Best Fit

• Medical affairs and publication teams that need to prove publication reach and HCP engagement to leadership, find KOLs and rising stars, and plan publications.
• Corporate R&D teams tracking the online influence of published research.
