Partnering with Digital Science: Empowering Publication Planners

Publication Planners play a crucial role in transforming research into impactful, high-quality outputs.

At Digital Science, we recognize this vital audience and are deeply committed to supporting their efforts. Our expertise as thought leaders is regularly showcased at influential conferences like ISMPP and MAPS, where we bring innovative perspectives and solutions to the forefront.

Through strategic tools and technologies, we empower Publication Planners to streamline workflows, measure impact, and enhance collaboration. Below, we outline five key Digital Science products designed to meet the unique needs of Publication Planners. 

Essential Digital Science tools for publication planners 

1. Altmetric 

Altmetric provides a comprehensive overview of the online attention surrounding publications, including the sentiment of that attention—whether positive, neutral, or negative. For Publication Planners, Altmetric enables the evaluation of impact beyond traditional citations by not only tracking mentions across social media, news outlets, policy documents, and more, but also analyzing the sentiment behind those mentions. With these insights, planners can determine where to publish, assess both the reach and perception of their work, refine strategies to engage target audiences more effectively, and report on ROI with nuanced, data-driven precision. 

2. Dimensions 

Dimensions is an all-encompassing research platform that integrates data from publications, grants, clinical trials, patents, and datasets. For planners, it serves as a central resource for identifying trends, analyzing scholarly activity, and uncovering opportunities for impactful research placement. Its analytics capabilities empower planners to make informed decisions and align publication strategies with broader organizational goals. 

3. Metaphactory 

Metaphactory enhances the ability to organize and manage complex data. Publication Planners can use this semantic platform to connect disparate datasets, uncover meaningful insights, and streamline the integration of information into their planning processes. By providing clarity and structure, Metaphactory helps planners address information overload and maintain high data quality standards. 

4. ReadCube 

ReadCube transforms how planners access and manage scientific literature. Its advanced search features and organizational tools allow planners to quickly locate relevant research and compile literature for reference during publication planning. By saving time and simplifying document management, ReadCube ensures planners stay informed and better equipped to support authors and stakeholders. 

5. Figshare 

Figshare offers a secure and user-friendly platform for storing and sharing research outputs. Planners can use Figshare to host supplementary materials such as datasets, figures, and infographics, making research more transparent and accessible to the wider community. With assets housed in one centralized location, planners can enhance the visibility and usability of their projects.
