Accessing the CSV Uploader Tool

 

In order to access the CSV Uploader Tool, you must be set as an administrator of your organization’s Altmetric Explorer instance.

 

If you wish to add an individual at your organization as an Altmetric Explorer administrator, please contact support@altmetric.com and we will update the account to include administrator permissions.

 

The CSV Uploader Tool can be found in the Administrator’s Panel, which is accessible via the wrench icon on the left-hand sidebar of the Explorer:

 

 

Under the header titled “Manage Data Implementation,” the following information is displayed:

  • The blue UPLOAD DATA button allows you to upload a new CSV spreadsheet.

  • A summary of your current data implementation, marked as ‘PUBLISHED.’ The summary tells you how many research outputs you uploaded and how many of those were valid.

  • A summary of your last four previous data implementations. At any time, you can re-publish one of your previous four data sets by hitting the blue ‘PUBLISH’ button on the right side of the corresponding upload.
