09:45 – 10:30	The rise and rise and research metrics	Daniel Hook CEO, Digital Science	Even in the face of the responsible metrics movement, metrics continue to have a pervasiveness in the research ecosystem that many would consider to be concerning. Daniel will introduce some ideas regarding our psychological relationship with metrics in academia and discuss how we became addicted to attention. He will then consider some new metrics that take us away from attention-based metrics and finally reflect on the future of metrics and how AI could change our future relationship with them.
10:30 – 10:45	Morning Tea	–	–
10:45 – 11:05	DS Portfolio Lightning Talks: Altmetric, Dimensions, Figshare & Symplectic	Altmetric Liz Smee – Product Solutions Specialist Altmetric & Dimensions Dimensions Liz Smee – Product Solutions Specialist Altmetric & Dimensions Figshare Claire Turner – Commercial Director Figshare Symplectic Jonathan Breeze – CEO Symplectic/Managing Director Workflow Hub	TBC
11:05 – 12:00	Research Integrity: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly	Leslie McIntosh VP, Research Integrity, Digital Science Simon Porter Vice President, Research Futures, Digital Science	More than ever, research integrity and trust in science are at the forefront of the scientific communications field. Global efforts push the broad sharing of research results to drive innovation and propel science advancements. The results of this work have significantly improved fields of research and whole countries. Yet, pushing public access forward has been accompanied by author integrity issues, a proliferation of misinformation, and increased distrust within science. A recent paper by Merkley & Loewen (2021, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-021-01112-w) found that as misinformation or misperceptions spread, individuals are less likely to trust expert advice and scientific results. And unfortunately, some misinformation and shoddy science have been cited in legitimate research or picked up by the news. This presentation will cover concepts and cases championing great research integrity work and nefarious behaviour within and surrounding research.
12:00 – 12:30	Q&A Panel for Digital Science Research Integrity	Daniel Hook CEO, Digital Science Leslie McIntosh VP, Research Integrity, Digital Science Simon Porter Vice President, Research Futures, Digital Science

Get ready for a mind-blowing trip into the Matrix (…I mean Ecosystem) via a tour of the soon-to-be-launched Dimensions Perspectives & Insights App!
12:15 – 12:30	Altmetric & Dimensions – a novel approach to team upskilling on bibliometrics tools (12-minute presentation, 3-minute questions)	Donna MacColl Team Leader – Research Services, University of Auckland	Research Services developed a novel approach to up-skilling across all the major analytics tools we have access to without all team members needing to be experts at everything, which is mission impossible. The team broke into four small groups. Each group developed expertise in one tool. A set of evaluation criteria were provided for groups to use as a starting point and the rest was left to the group’s imagination and creativity. There was much good humour and fun group rivalry in the process. The small groups presented their findings to one another via a lightning talk-styled mini-conference followed by a team discussion. This presentation will cover the approach and process used, outcomes for the team, and use cases for the information. At the end of this presentation, there may be time to include some excerpts of the Altmetric and Dimensions presentations.

Afternoon Concurrent Session – Altmetric

Time	Title	Speaker	Presentation Description
13:30 – 14:00	The Evolution of Altmetrics at Torrens University.	Paul Quilty Head of Research Infrastructure & Reporting, Torrens University	Torrens University Australia became Australia’s newest University in 2014. Having no research legacy, and starting from scratch, we had to use tools, first Figshare, and then Altmetrics to help tell our story. Initially, Altmetrics was largely used to tell TUA’s research story to internal stakeholders. Being a private entity, we needed to be able to tell the story of new, burgeoning research, not just from traditional bibliometric sources. We have been able to evolve the tool from creating awareness to utilising the data to tell stories in funding applications and collaboration explorations.
14:00 – 14:40	The future of impact metrics	Carlos Areia Data Scientist, Altmetric	Research impact can be approached from different perspectives and understood through various lenses. As such, its measurement should be dynamic and tailored to the needs of all stakeholders. In this presentation, we will explore the ways in which people communicate research, who they are, how they feel about it, and how they use it. We will also explore how Dimensions and Altmetric data create the ideal environment within which to explore research impact.
14:40 – 15:00	Altmetric Explorer & Symplectic Elements: Reporting on Group Metrics	Dr Marzieh Asgari Research Librarian (Bibliometrics & Reporting), Deakin University	Have you ever wondered about the impact of research outputs on policy, patents, and community conversation? Join Deakin University to hear how they use Altmetric Explorer & Symplectic Elements platforms to report the research impact for individual researchers and research groups. Understand how they then use these metrics for funding applications and celebrating research excellence.
15:00 – 15:30	Break	–	–
15:30 – 15:50	Showcasing Research: Altmetric Explorer for Media & Comms	David Ellis Press, PR and Social Manager, Digital Science	In a world saturated with news content and strong competition for attention, media and communications professionals need every advantage to boost the awareness of their institution’s research. We show how Altmetric Explorer can help you uncover new content, add dedicated media contacts to your targeted distribution, and track, monitor, analyse and report on the reach and influence of research stories you’ve publicised.
15:50 – 16:20	Net Positive Sustainability Agenda: SDG Interactive Analysis	Carlos Areia Data Scientist, Altmetric	We are now halfway through the blueprint developed by the United Nations in 2015 to achieve a ‘better and more sustainable future for all’. During this presentation, we analyse research data that has been mapped to the Sustainable Development Goals in an effort to aggregate research data across institutions, and map this to the goals with the intention to understand how our region is contributing to SDG outcomes.
16:20 – 16:30	Wrap up and close	Anthony Dona Senior Director Government & Funder	–

Afternoon Concurrent Session – Dimensions

Time	Title	Speaker	Presentation Description
13:30 – 14:20	Performing Citation Analysis with Dimensions API	Simon Porter Vice President, Research Futures, Digital Science	In this hands-on session, we will take you through all you need to know to get started with using the Dimensions API for analysis. The Dimensions team have put together a great resource, Dimensions API labs, that takes you through many common use cases. During the session, we will walk you through what you can find there, and take you step by step through a citations analysis. Already a Dimensions API power user? Time permitting, we’ll also give you a taste of how you can go even further with Dimensions on Google Big Query. Registrations are required for this session, please click here to register
14:20 – 14:40	Advanced analysis using Dimensions on GBQ	Hanna Bramanto Research & Data Analyst, Ministry of Business and Innovation, New Zealand	Join us for a recorded Q&A to hear how the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment uses Dimensions on GBQ for complex landscape Analysis.
15:00 – 15:30	Break	–	–
15:20 – 16:20	Dimensions Research Integrity Trust Markers/Indicators of Acceptance	Simon Porter Vice President, Research Futures, Digital Science	Trust markers – the explicit statements on a paper such as funding, data availability, conflict of interest, author contributions, and ethical approval – represent a contract between authors and readers that proper research practices have been observed. Trust markers highlight a level of research transparency within a publication, and reduce the reputational risks of allowing non-compliance to research integrity policies to go unobserved. When looked at in the aggregate, Trust markers provide a level of insight into Research Integrity practice and policy at an institution, funder, or publisher. In this presentation, we will cover how you can use Dimensions Research Integrity trust marker insights across 33M full-text articles to plan and manage Research Integrity outreach and strategy at your institution.
