This session provides an orientation to publication metrics sometimes used to demonstrate scholarly impact. It will introduce tools available at U-M for accessing metrics and creating simple visualizations to support statements about the impact of your research, such as Altmetric Explorer for Institutions, Scopus, and Web of Science. Participants will leave with an understanding of several core citation metrics, alternative metrics, and their strengths and limitations in the broader context of research impact and evaluation.
