Case Study: The University of Queensland achieves greater research engagement and impact with Altmetric Explorer

The University of Queensland uses Altmetric across 6 faculties, 8 institutes and 100+ research centers to boost research impact

The University of Queensland needed a better way to track and demonstrate the broader engagement and impact of its extensive research portfolio beyond traditional citations. They sought a solution to tell a fuller story about their research's reach and to provide evidence for grant applications and strategic planning. The vendor Altmetric provided its Altmetric Explorer platform to address this challenge.

Implementing Altmetric Explorer allowed the university to move past raw numbers, with users utilizing the detailed data and visual reports to understand research attention. Altmetric's solution led to enhanced reporting, with researchers now proactively requesting data updates and using the insights in committee meetings to plan strategically for greater impact. The University of Queensland plans to expand its use of Altmetric Explorer across more units to continue tracking the global reach of its research.
