Case Study: CONICET boosts visibility of publicly funded research with Altmetric badges

Boosting visibility of publicly funded research in Argentina with Altmetric badges

The National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), a major Argentine government research agency, sought new ways to monitor the dissemination and influence of its scientific publications online. To address this challenge, they partnered with Altmetric to integrate Altmetric badges into their newly upgraded Institutional Repository.

By implementing Altmetric's badges, CONICET gained a tool to visually showcase the online attention and societal impact of each publication directly within their repository. This solution provided researchers with evidence of their work's broader influence for grant and job applications, while also inspiring the wider user community to promote the dissemination of publicly funded research. Altmetric enabled CONICET to successfully boost the visibility of its research outputs.
