  1. How Mendeley illuminates a broader definition of impact William Gunn, Ph.D. Head of Academic Outreach Mendeley @mrgunn https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3555-2054

  2. ...and aggregates research data in the cloud Install Mendeley Desktop Mendeley extracts research data… Collecting rich signals from domain experts.

  3. Cloud Library Work Mobile Home

  4. Shared Folder

  5. Read papers + keep track of notes 470M documents

  6. Taking some misery out of writing

  7. Mendeley Research Catalog

  8. Mendeley Research Catalog

  9. New forms of discovery • Mendeley Suggest • personalized recommendations based on reading history • related articles • relatedness based on document similarity • recommender frameworks • implement recommendations as a service • third-party recommender services • serve niche audiences

  10. Information Extraction

  11. We are publishing this data to the LOD cloud http://code-research.eu/

  12. Connecting researchers Import Search Read Annotate Organize Write

  13. Data we collect • Metadata about the paper • title, author, tags, annotations, reads, shares, groups • Metadata about the researcher • discipline, educational status, country, papers they’ve authored, presentations, expertise

  14. 2.7M researchers

  15. Defining readership • Each document addition is a “read” • stamped with metadata describing the context of the read event • a read is like a citation, but faster and captures more

  16. research impacts more than authors

  17. Citations are slow

  18. Mendeley is fast

  19. Readership vs. citations • it comes with a payload of metadata • it accrues faster • it illuminates previously hidden impact

  20. altmetrics show broader impact http://arxiv.org/html/1203.4745v1

  21. http://dx.doi.org/10.3789/isqv25no2.2013.04

  22. altmetrics show broader impact http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Apr-13/AprMay13_Lin_Fenner.html

  23. Issues To Be Addressed • Identity • Privacy • Attribution • Gaming • Filtration standards/ best practice

  24. What would people build if they could get the data? • Impact Story – get credit for all your work • PLOS ALM – article-level metrics for papers • Plum Analytics – bespoke analytics for libraries (EBSCO) • Altmetric.com – altmetrics for publishers. (Digital Science)
