Boundless — Carnegie Mellon University Libraries

"One of the key roles of the modern academic library is capturing, analyzing and showcasing the university’s research output. In the final months of 2016 we will be implementing a number of tools, in association with our development partner, Digital Science. Key amongst these are:

• Symplectic Elements – will become the definitive source of research information for CMU and will be used by faculty to help showcase and measure both the output and qualitative impact of CMU research, enabling a unique insight into where our research is strongest.
• Figshare for Institutions – will become our institutional data repository, providing a robust and reliable place to curate research data; promote an open culture of sharing; and ensure compliance with open data mandates from funders.
• Altmetric Explorer for Institutions – will enable CMU to monitor and report on the attention that our research is garnering from wide-ranging audiences, including practitioners, policymakers and the general public, across sources such as mainstream media, blogs, social networks, Wikipedia and other community forums.
• Dimensions – will give CMU access to the world’s leading grants database powered by ÜberResearch, enabling automatic links between publications and grants in Symplectic Elements, as well as helping us to identify people and research groups of interest and with whom to collaborate around the globe."
