What is Plum building?• Next generation impact analysis metrics for scholarly research.• Aggregating artifact and author level metrics into a research

reputation graph.• Clicks, views, tweets, likes, links, tags, favorites, Google +1’s,

etc. will be captured and correlated.

10

This graph will power intuitive research directories and visualizations at the artifact, researcher, lab, department, publication, and institution level.

Measuring the Modern Researcher

Nicolas Pinto – PhD from MIT in 2010• Some of his research is published.

• What other research is Pinto doing? How is his research being used? Promoted? Interacted with?

• What is Pinto’s real scientific impact? 12

Comparisons• He tweets:

• He shares, and it is measurable:• 1,204 slideshare views• 26 tweets• 2 Google +1• 3 LinkedIn Shares• 1 Facebook Share, 1 like, 1 comment

• All before his research is “published”• Web of Science cited-by count = 2 in 3 years• Google Citations does not list him yet
