PlumX: new product from plum ™ analytics collects research impact metrics

摘要

Given this era of frequent budget cuts and a constriction of funding sources, it is important for those performing, funding, or monitoring research to understand the impact of research on a timely and accurate basis. It is in this climate that Plum™ Analytics launches their new product, PlumX™. PlumX is designed to help funders, researchers, librarians, and others at institutions to answer questions about research. PlumX analyzes data about research artifacts to provide a complete and timely view of not only research and researchers, but also the groups they are affiliated with such as labs, departments and institutes.
