Altmetric Explorer tracks mentions of research outputs (including publications and data sets) in social media, news media, blogs, Wikipedia, and engagement on scholarly platforms, plus citations in patents and policy documents. Altmetric Explorer also allows you to generate analytical reports for individual research outputs, authors, groups of researchers, or Schools.
Altmetric Explorer imports information on University of Newcastle authors and their publications from NURO. Therefore it is important to keep your NURO profile up-to-date.
