We track anything that has an identifier like a DOI. This item looks like it hasn’t been mentioned yet. UNTIL YOU!

Dimensions and Altmetric are both owned by Digital Science. Dimensions indexes as much research content as possible and connects it. Altmetric tracks attention to research on the web.

We will have more updates once our customer beta phase is over. Check back until then for more info, memes, dumb dad jokes and this account accidentally liking unrelated cat video posts on Bluesky. #Inbluencers
Have a wonderful rest of the week, Skywalkers!

See something whacky? Hey, probably! It is a beta after all. Use the rating tool and then give feedback. This will retrain our algorithms in a batch process during new iterations, whatever that is, I might have just made it up.

So far we have processed all 10 million Bluesky and X/Twitter posts from 2025, all of 2024 and most of 2023. As the beta moves on over the next 6 weeks we will work backwards and eventually will have everything categorised by sentiment.

Sentiment offers granular reporting on research impact beyond volume of attention.
Publications planners, Medical Affairs colleagues and impact officers at universities can now report on sentiment in addition to distribution of research online.

Sentiment is detected using Artificial Intelligence and works in multiple languages. It can even tell when the sentiment is positive but isn't directed at the research, like this post, which praises an unrelated video:

Naturally we have placed this on customer-facing Altmetric donuts too during the beta. Sentiment is summarised in a long bar just as it is in Explorer.
Click on the sentiment buttons to filter to those mentions with that sentiment in Explorer. You can also rate each post's sentiment accuracy.

Here's a view of the Explorer filtered for the grant "Spinal Cord Stimulation to Improve Motor Function in People with Post-Stroke Hemiplegia"
Started in 2022, it already has 8 publications, all positively received online

Unless you're part of our "cash bribes for early access" program (which legal tells me is NOT real) Explorer clients logging in today will see a whole host of new panels, filters and labels. These show you various levels of positive, negative or neutral tones of Bsky/X posts about research.

EITHER
Reinvent Albany is an evidence-based policy body and advocacy org behind a lot of New York State's public transportation and Open Government Initiatives. And they have the good taste of being on Bluesky too!
OR
A small IKEA lamp

SINTEF is indeed a research org and not an IKEA-specific widget. They are among Europe's largest. 500 policy publications, over 5,000 citations to academic works.
Cool logo too.

One of those annoying bolts that hold your IKEA furniture together that you can't buy elsewhere, AND despite having the right amount in the packet, end up being not enough to screw together THIS BOOKCASE THAT WILL BE THE BANE OF MY LIFE FOREVER
OR
A research organisation

2. Teknologirådet
EITHER
A cyberpunk nightlight available with the Sädfäce crying-blanket in the IKEA Teens section
OR
The Norwegian Board of Technology
Yes it's the 2nd one...they advise the Norwegian Government on new technology, like social media for instance. COME AT ME, TEKNOLOGIRÅDET!

1. Miljødirektoratet
EITHER
A strong and broad dining table available in several pleasing pastel colours at your local IKEA
OR
The Norwegian Environment Agency
If you said IKEA, Norway would like a word. This agency's 300 papers cite 5,500 items! Citation Needed No More.

Thesis and dissertation data has always been one of our white whales. A lot of the problem has stemmed around centralised resources. Anything we can work on would be most welcome.

Are there other limitations we can realistically address? If you come up against a limit to our data, we’d always like to hear what it is. Just send up the signal.
