CIP presence
Sharing knowledge
Social reach of scientific publications
Two of the research papers co-authored by CIP scientists received Altmetric scores above 400 in 2018. That means that they were cited and shared hundreds of times on the web. Altmetrics are metrics and qualitative data that are complementary to traditional, citation-based metrics. They can include peer reviews, citations on Wikipedia and in public policy documents, discussions on research blogs, mainstream media coverage, bookmarks on reference managers like Mendeley, and mentions on social networks such as Twitter. All publications in CGSpace, the CGIAR repository, have Altmetric scores, which are visually displayed with a ‘donut’ to reflect where they captured attention.
