Assessing impact
We believe it is the role of Digital Science to help the scientometrics community access information it needs to develop open, transparent research indicators. In Barcelona: A beautiful horizon, our CEO Daniel Hook describes the history and vision of this commitment. Researchers can use Altmetric and Dimensions data to study how research is funded, communicated, commercialized, and how it makes an impact in the world.
At Digital Science, our belief is that by taking risks, being innovative and pushing boundaries, so that clients gain real value and significant benefit from our offerings, there should be an opportunity for an appropriate return on investment.”
Through the Scientometric Researcher Access to Data (SRAD) program, we offer no-cost access to Altmetric and Dimensions for non-commercial scientometric research projects, through which you will get access to the Altmetric Explorer, Dimensions Analytics, our APIs (Altmetric Explorer API, Altmetric Details Page API, and the Dimensions Analytics API) and we are now expanding research to Dimensions data by offering access to the Dimensions on Google BigQuery (GBQ) dataset through Google’s Analytics Hub.
Expanding access
By expanding access to the Dimensions on GBQ, we are excited to facilitate researchers in answering complex questions with big data, making connections between more data points, and connecting Dimensions data to other open datasets!
Access supports university-affiliated scientometrics researchers with clearly defined research projects, aiming for published results. Scientometric research involves the quantitative study of science, technology, and innovation. It aims to measure and evaluate the impact, patterns and trends in scientific research and its influence across disciplines and institutions. We also welcome projects that support the development, testing, or comparison of bibliometric or scientometric indicators. Innovative research is particularly encouraged; duplicative research questions are not (with the exception of replication studies, which are encouraged). Access is not intended for use in commercial products, for self assessment, or non-scientometric research.

Monthly meetings
In addition to access, scientometric researchers meet monthly to share information about Digital Science datasets (Altmetric & Dimensions), access methods (APIs, BigQuery, Google Analytics Hub), and using these data to study science.

For years, research has shown that inclusive datasets like Dimensions are essential for understanding the global research landscape, whether the interest is open access measurement or publishing diversity. We are proud to make these data available for the study of science.
