Case Study: Duke University demonstrates research impact faster with Altmetric

Duke University - Customer Case Study

Terrie Moffitt, Professor of Psychology at Duke University, needed a faster way to demonstrate the reach and impact of her research for grant reports, CVs, and lab progress updates. After a student recommended the Altmetric bookmarklet, she requested a trial of Altmetric for Institutions to compare attention across multiple papers and better understand who was engaging with her work.

Altmetric helped Duke University researchers track attention immediately after publication, view multiple articles at once, and click through to specific mentions for more detail. Using Altmetric, Terrie was able to show impact beyond citations, support early-career researchers, and use the platform as a teaching and discovery tool; the response from colleagues was very positive, with strong interest in broader use across Duke.
