New preprint! 🎉 I analysed 1660 papers from 4 psychology journals and found materials sharing went from 9% of papers in 2015 to 82% in 2025, and these materials *do* get downloaded — a median of 135 times each. BUT shared code is often hard to run. doi.org/10.31234/osf...
Let's walk through it 🧵

I then ran these articles through the 'metacheck' R package, which extracted repo links. I retrieved OSF repo links from 670 papers. Then I got OSF download numbers via the OSF API, and in parallel, got citation numbers and altmetric data for all these papers.

Next, I looked at what was associated with higher OSF materials downloads, and found that both citations and altmetric attention was linked with OSF download numbers. This makes sense---more interest in the paper leads to more interest in the materials

I then ran a sensitively analysis *without* these flagged repos, which found that the download predictor model was pretty much the same.

The contributions academics value are diff from the attributes that matter for career advancement. Alt-metrics are an attempt at identify these values but they tend to start with "what can we measure" instead of "what do we value" 2/3

🐦 A citation can take years to show up. A policy mention, a news pickup, or a Wikipedia reference can happen in days.
Altmetrics capture that faster, wider trail of engagement that citation counts structurally miss.

In the UK, (grant) income seems to matter more than anything else.
Researcher A who gets £500,000 and publishes 2 papers is more likely to get promoted than researcher B who publishes 2 papers or even more (assuming journal rank, citations, Altmetric etc are similar). Disincentivises efficiency.

Altmetric now tracks how seminars cite research as well as how seminars themselves are distributed online.
Altmetric @altmetric.com
NEW ATTENTION SOURCE From today Altmetric is tracking when research is cited within @cassyni.bsky.social recorded video seminars. Altmetric tracks both mentions of research in seminars, AND the seminars themselves as they are shared and cited.

“A talk is a research output, and it should be measurable the way an article is. That is why talks carry DOIs, are indexed in @dimensions.ai , and are now measured by Altmetric.”
Ben Kaube, Co-founder of Cassyni.

Seminar attention can be found on all our public details pages, and all Altmetric Explorer users will find it along with our other attention sources in the Altmetric database.
Let us know if you have questions, or if you find particularly interesting seminars covering your own research!

Seminars just became a measurable research output!
Altmetric is now tracking mentions from Cassyni's talks — each with its own DOI and transcript — as a new Altmetric Attention score source.

Curious question… for those in #gamdev and #accessibility
Working on a concept that uses walking steps as a currency.. but are there any alternative metrics to use for those that are more mobility limited (like wheelchair or walking aid)
