SURVEYS

At Altmetric we provide data, tools and platforms that help researchers, funders, institutions and publishers monitor the online activity and conversations surrounding their published research. We're really keen to understand more about the research outputs that humanities and social science scholars (in particular) produce; how you promote them and how you monitor and demonstrate the subsequent 'impacts' of your work. We've put together a short survey and would be really grateful if you could give us your thoughts and also share it with any colleagues who might be willing to take a few minutes to respond to it: https://www.surveymonkey.co. uk/r/altmetrichumanities You can stay entirely anonymous or enter their email address to be in with the chance of winning a $50 Amazon voucher! The survey will close on the 30th of September. [cross posting ESA]
