Altmetric adds Cassyni research talks as part of its research attention score

Research discussed in a Cassyni talk now counts towards the paper's Altmetric Attention Score, and each talk carries a score of its own.


Altmetric now tracks mentions of published scholarly outputs made in Cassyni research talks. Cassyni publishes talks from journals, societies and university departments that accompany new papers as structured research outputs, each with a Crossref DOI and a transcript. Altmetric matches those references to the papers to which they point.

A paper referenced in a Cassyni talk will show a seminar mention on its Altmetric badge, weighted the same as a policy document or a clinical guidelines.

The recordings themselves become measurable at the same time. Every Cassyni talk carries its own DOI and now gains an Altmetric Attention Score of its own, with an Altmetric badge on the talk page showing who is discussing the talk and where.

Organizations subscribing to the Altmetric Explorer will see seminar activity in the Reports and Details Page Timelines as an additional source in the same dataset..

Cassyni seminars are already discoverable in Digital Science’s Dimensions, with their own publication type filter, full metadata records and the recording playable on the page.
