Description

This presentation was given on Monday, September 25, 2017 at 2:00 pm (CST), and again on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 at 10:30 am (CST). The 45 minute webinar was hosted by Altmetric.com to demonstrate the use of alternative metrics in the NIH biosketch.

Abstract

With funders in the US, UK, and Europe demanding evidence of "broader impact," new metrics are required to showcase how your research is affecting your communities, key demographics (like patients or regulators), and research beyond your field. Traditional journal-based metrics like impact factor and citations take a long time to accrue and only speak to scholarly impact.Alternative metrics can help.Join us for a 40 minute overview of the NIH Biosketch requirements and how alternative metrics (not just Altmetric data) can be integrated in a meaningful way to demonstrate impact. The webinar will cover:A better understanding of what Altmetric data are and how they are capturedReal-life examples of using them to support funding applicationsStructured guidance on how they can help showcase success and help inform strategic planning within your institution
