Access to Altmetric and Dimensions data is now boosted with Dimensions on BigQuery for researchers in the scientometrics field
Tuesday 22 July 2025
Digital Science today reaffirms its commitment to supporting the global scientometric research community and the study of scholarly literature, by relaunching its Scientometric Researcher Access to Data (SRAD) program.
This revitalized initiative will offer scientometric researchers streamlined, no-cost access to Digital Science’s Altmetric and Dimensions data, and is now further expanded by offering access to Dimensions on BigQuery.
The SRAD program is available to scientometrics researchers involved in non-commercial scientometric studies, empowering them to more easily answer system-wide research questions about scholarly literature and its impact.
To lead this important effort and build a thriving global community of expert users, Digital Science has appointed Kathryn Weber-Boer to the position of Director Scientometrics – Scientometric Researcher Engagement. Ms Weber-Boer brings deep expertise in scientometrics, academic engagement, and advanced analytics.
Ms Weber-Boer said: “This program plays an important role in Digital Science’s commitment to open research and improving research. I am honoured to be in the position of driving strategic outreach, program design, and community leadership, to help researchers maximize the impact of Digital Science tools.
“By expanding access to Dimensions on GBQ, we’re excited to enable scientometrics researchers to answer complex questions with big data, exploring and linking more datapoints, and connecting our world-leading Dimensions data to other open datasets.
“The SRAD program is built around key principles of accessibility, responsible data use, and community empowerment. Through tailored training and dynamic community engagement, it’s our hope that we can contribute to driving innovation in the fields of Scientometrics, Research Policy, and Innovation Studies,” she said.
