We're thrilled to announce a powerful new enhancement to Altmetric Explorer: Search by Researcher! 


You can now easily find specific researchers and analyze the aggregated attention metrics for all their associated research outputs. 


This highly requested feature provides a more comprehensive understanding of a researcher's impact over time, complementing our existing output-centric view. Key benefits include: 

  • New Search Capabilities: Search for researchers by name directly in Altmetric Explorer. 

  • Research Disambiguation: We use Dimensions data to ensure you're selecting the correct researcher. 

  • Aggregated Metrics: Get a holistic view of a researcher's influence, including total mention counts and breakdowns by attention source. 

  • Top Researchers Section: Easily identify researchers with the most attention on the highlights tab.

  • Seamless Navigation: Follow links from authors on a paper's Details Page to view all their outputs and associated attention. 

  • Enhanced Insights: Especially valuable for Enterprise and Academic users to track Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and identify collaborators.
