Traditional metrics lag behind…
Funders are noticing…
Grant funders looking for proof of “broader impacts” often defined as “an effect, change, or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policies, health, the environment, etc.”
Research Excellence Framework, http://www.ref.ac.uk/panels/assessmentcriteriaandleveldefinitions/
Broaden dissemination to enhance scientific and technological understanding, for example, by presenting results of research and education projects in formats useful to students, scientists and engineers, members of Congress, teachers, and the general public.

Our definition…
Not a replacement but a complement
Policy documents, blogs, mainstream news, social media

Making the case for demonstrating broader impact
How well does the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning? How well does the proposed activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic, etc.)? To what extent will it enhance the infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks, and partnerships? Will the results be disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding? What may be the benefits of the proposed activity to society? “

Bottom line? #altmetrics make me look better
From NIH Program Manager“[This altmetric data is] fantastic information for [our] budget report.”
I save a tremendous amount time for my lab and me having to demonstrate “evidence of impact” to various funders via “researchfish.”
And we’re always learning
• No idea that our methods papers were getting so much attention– Too boring for news– Long time to get citations– But young researchers care and are tweeting
extensively!• Altmetrics can help me teach undergraduates
– Students will be asked to find top papers (in terms of attention) in different areas
– See first hand the impact of the internet and online media in disseminating important, life changing research
Thank you!
