If you're a graduate research student or early career researcher who wants to publish your work, or promote publications you already have under your belt for greater reach and impact, this session is for you. Two Faculty Librarians will look at best practice tips.

Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:

PURE: A research information system that can help you manage your research outputs and increase their visibility.
Altmetric Explorer: A tool that tracks online attention and engagement of scholarly articles and other academic work.
ORCID: An open, non-profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers.
Bluesky: An alternative to X and operates as a public conversation platform. It's gaining traction around the world.
Academic X (Twitter): A platform to share your research with a wider audience and engage with other researchers.

The session is not instructional on the specifics of how to use each. The overview will help you gain a better understanding of their benefits and the potential for promoting your work.

This workshop is designed to help you understand and find your own research metrics, as well as how to generate basic metrics reports.

We will explore how to find quantitative measures like citation counts and field-weighted citation impact, along with alternative metrics to track influence in fields like government policy and social media mentions.
