Altmetric Attention Digest Beta!

1. What's new?

We're excited to announce the Beta launch of the Altmetric Attention Digest: a new AI-powered feature that helps you generate concise, interpretable digests of a research output's attention data, empowering you to quickly grasp the significance of research impact, and easily share a clear narrative with stakeholders.

2. Where can I find the Altmetric Attention Digest? 

The Attention Digest is available on Altmetric Details Pages, where, at the click of a button, you will be able to display AI-generated summaries that synthesize key metrics, influential sources, and overall reception for individual research outputs.

3. Key Features You'll See in Beta

• Display Structure: The Digest is displayed on a new pop-out drawer on the Details Page. It starts with a high-level narrative summary that highlights key indicators (e.g., policy documents, prominent news), followed by more detailed, source-specific insights.

• Key Context Highlighted: Digests specifically highlight connected events and trigger points that led to surges in attention, providing context that users value highly.

• Focus on Impact Indicators: Content prioritizes key indicators of impact, such as policy documents, clinical guidelines, and prominent news media.

• Transparency: The solution incorporates a robust footprint where every piece of information presented in the Digest has a clear, accessible link back to its original mention, enabling you to verify information.

• User feedback: you will have an option to provide feedback on each Digest you have generated, and let us know what you find valuable, or suggest improvements.

4. Important Beta launch information

This is an open Beta launch, available to all Altmetric Explorer users. During this phase, we will be actively testing and refining the functionality based on real-world usage. 

As this is a Beta release, please note that you may occasionally encounter unexpected results or minor bugs. Please use the in-feature feedback option to let us know what you find valuable, or to report any issues you experience: your comments and suggestions will help us refine the AI model, and work towards releasing a new version with enhanced content and deeper insights after the Beta phase.

We're excited for you to explore beyond the numbers and gain richer insights into your research's impact.
