The Promise Of Another Open: Open Impact Tracking
The Promise Of Another Open: Open Impact TrackingOver the last few months I’ve been having a great time hacking on an app that reveals open altmetrics stats (and their context) for diverse research products. total-Impact started in a 24-hour hackathon at the Beyond Impact workshop funded by the Open Society Foundations. Since then a few of us have been unable to put it down. I’ll talk about it a bit more in a future blog post [added link, also see here], but you are welcome to read more and play around with the alpha releasenow!
The time is clearly right for this sort of app…several similar ones are emerging now too.
