UPCOMING WEBINARS
Altmetric Explorer Training Sessions – facilitated by the Curtin Library
AltMetric Explorer can be used to gather evidence of research impact beyond journal citations. It uses DOIs (or other identifiers) to recognise ‘mentions’ across a range of media (traditional and social), policy documents, blogs, and online reference managers.
Any of these mentions can be drilled down to build a narrative around your research impact: who (or what organisation) is mentioning your work in the public arena, what are they saying, where in the world are they and who else has commented.
Additionally, you can share a report of your ‘attention’ data and you can add Altmetric ‘donut’ badges to your publications in e-space, to indicate the quality and quantity of attention, and the spread of interest.
The sessions will be run online by specialist trainers from Altmetric Explorer.

Demonstrating your impact: how to find and showcase the evidence of your research impact
Demonstrating research engagement and impact beyond academia has become an essential component in grant applications, building and maintaining industry partnerships, and benchmark reporting, across most disciplines. It’s also part of Curtin’s Academic Capability Framework. Our presenters will provide hints and tips for getting this right.
Expected learnings from this session:
- How to ensure evidence of your engagement and impact is generated, captured and accessible throughout your project and afterward
- What to consider when writing a statement forecasting the likely impacts of your research proposal
- What to include in a report on your impact for different audiences: funders, stakeholders, end-users, line-managers, media relations, national assessors, etc.
Brief overview on generating and capturing evidence of your research engagement and impact:
- Dr Debbie Thackray – Excellence and Impact Partner, Research Office at Curtin
Collating evidence and writing research impact narratives for different audiences and scenarios:
- Professor Richard Blythe – Pro Vice-Chancellor, Faculty of Humanities and Professor in creative practices
- Ms Rosie Jayasekera – Research Development Advisor, Medical Research Future Fund Strategy, Faculty of Health Sciences
