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 imports information on University of Newcastle authors and their publications from NURO, and allows you to generate analytical reports for individual research outputs, authors, groups of researchers, or Schools. 

Altmetric Explorer is available to all University of Newcastle staff and students and can be accessed via the Library’s Databases A-Z List. All users are required to register using their UON email address (either ‘newcastle.edu.au’ or ‘uon.edu.au’). Follow the link in the email to complete the registration process (this email may take several minutes). Do not use your UON password for Altmetric Explorer.
