It's not often that an app launches a feature you've been waiting a decade for. But this week, that dream came real. Altmetric has added a timeline for Mendeley readers.
Why does this matter? Timelines are essential to understand "what activities drive engagement and impact".
doi.org/10.1002/asi.23477 - "I'm going to add or read when I add to Mendeley"
doi.org/10.1002/asi.23559 - "Early Mendeley data correlates with future citations"
doi.org/10.1007/s11192-023-0… - "Mendeley reads grow and grow"
doi.org/10.1002/asi.70095 - "Open Access is key to early activity"
We know that when people bookmark research, they intend to read or cite it - and we know that people discover research in increasingly diverse ways.
Altmetric - and #altmetrics - continues to evolve, to support our understanding of what, how and why people read, use and cite.
1/5 My PhD thesis has finally been posted. I spent time looking at #altmetrics and citation rates of #openaccess vs non-oa research. There are several findings: firstly, the 'advantage' is very (very) different per discipline and metric doi.org/10.23912/open_access…
4/5 Fourth. Green is rarer than Gold OA, hasn't grown, narrow disciplinery range, tends to outperform Gold. I wouldn't bother publishing in new/lower Gold journals, personal opinion. Paper in bits on dining room table. tinyurl.com/4vxvaax9 doi.org/10.23912/open_access…
5/5 Bonus post. I think the history of scientific revolutions, and the application of theory are worth a read. Might even raise a chuckle. Download here tinyurl.com/4vxvaax9 doi.org/10.23912/open_access… #fucktrump #fuckmusk Sorry, but won't reply here. Bluesky :)
Two weeks ago, @CarrieBrubaker, @C_Areia recorded a pod for MAPS about 'interesting' research in the pharma space. I picked 2 articles about TB, which kills millions. A new drug nature.com/articles/s41591-0… and @herorats medicalaffairs.org/top-10-mo…
I am continuing to be proud of supporting @herorats and urge people to check out doi.org/10.1186/s12879-024-0… Rats are amazingly fast and accurate when it comes to diagnosing TB

Put simply: If you engage in violent protests, you will face the full force of the law.

Ground breaking study that continues to show that using celebrities as case studies and subjects boosts public engagement with research @C_Areia

I reckon I'll see another referendum in my life time, but it'll be in NI not Scotland @sinnfeinireland
Since I'm writing the follow-up paper, thought I ought to post the last one :) while I wait (and wait) on peer review arxiv.org/abs/2406.10535 Turns out the #oa advantage is super complex (stay tuned for a second paper this summer)
The grief I get for having mildly entertaining titles for my research, and then this... pearl turns up link.springer.com/article/10…
