Case Study: The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences achieves greater visibility and societal impact for its research with Altmetric

The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences automates 25,000 publication insights with Altmetric

The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) needed to demonstrate how its research contributes to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. They faced the challenge of manually curating and showcasing their publications while also wanting to measure the wider societal impact of this research. To address this, they turned to Altmetric and its Altmetric Explorer service.

Using Altmetric Explorer, SLU connected its research outputs to broader societal attention, tracking mentions in news, policy documents, and social media. Altmetric provided the data to present a transparent case for the research’s reach and impact. Furthermore, by implementing Altmetric’s specialized API, SLU automated the reporting process, becoming the first university globally to do so, which transformed their intensive manual project into an efficient, updated web portal.
