What is Dimensions?
A Networked Research Knowledge System
• Connects data across the different elements of research (for discovery and analysis)
• Built in collaboration with 100+ research organization development partners worldwide
• Basic publications discovery version free for individual researchers
• Full data versions licensed to institutions, publishers, funders and corporate customers
• Features a variety of article-level metrics such as:
○ Altmetrics, total number of of citations, recent citations, FCR, RCR
