Arctic Altmetrics: Alternative Perspectives on the Impact of Arctic Research. A Working Paper

<p>There exist a significant number of information sources, apart from the scientific literature, with which to assess the social impact (not to be confused with “societal impact”) of the findings produced by Arctic researchers and institutions. Various policy documents, online news and media publications, white papers, tweets, and Facebook posts provide additional data points to help assess the reach and potential impact of publicly funded research, including Arctic research. </p><p>In this working paper, we provide some alternative perspectives of the way one could view the impact being made by Arctic-related science.</p

International Arctic Research: Analyzing Global Funding Trends. A Pilot Report

<p>This pilot analysis is the result of an exploratory collaboration between the UArctic Science & Research Analytics Task Force and Digital Science's international research teams. The aim was to assess the global funding landscape around Arctic-related research for the decade spanning 2006 to 2015 using the funding data from the Dimensions dataset, which includes information from over 200 funders on more than 2,500,000 projects with funding totalling $1 trillion+ (in US Dollars). </p><p>This project is the first ever attempt to create a comprehensive view of global Arctic research funding using a dataset of such magnitude.</p
