One more time ‘altmetrics @ TU Delft’ – this time with data -

Abstract

The TU Delft Library strives to contribute to the increased visibility of the researchers beyond the obvious publication strategy thereby contributing to the mission of the university: bringing science to society. Alternative metrics make part of these endeavours. TU Delft Library and the Department of Maritime and Transport Technology are currently conducting a comparative analysis and an exploratory study of the major altmetric tools within the context of the AIDA project. This exploratory study involves analysis of the possibilities of embedding one or more altmetric tools in the TU Delft toolbox for automatic analysis of research trends either for individual researcher or at an institutional level. The results of the study will demonstrate whether new Library services can be developed to support the goals of the institution and the scientific staff.Research SupportTransport Engineering and Logistic
