Publication metrics for the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Investigator grant

Are any of your publications mentioned in policy documents?

Search for policies that have mentioned your publications via Altmetric or PlumX.

Make sure to follow through to the policy document to see where it is from and what it is about.

Are notable people, thought leaders or influencers referring to your work online?

Check the online attention of your publication (via Altmetric) and follow through to the detail of who and what people are saying.

What news stories or press releases have mentioned your work?

Have news mentions to your work come from outlets with a (wide) audience/readership that may be likely to instigate change?

• Explore the online attention to your publication (via Altmetric Explorer) and click the News or Blogs tab.
• Search LexisNexis Capital Monitor for press releases related to your work.
• Try searching for your research output in Google News to see if it is appearing in any media.

Tip: Search the title in inverted commas (e.g. "Wearable cardioverter-defibrillator after myocardial infarction") or by Digital Object Identifier (DOI 10.1136/bmj.k3786)

Do you have publications in outlets that are not 'scholarly' e.g. the Conversation but reach audiences such as clinicians, practitioners or the general public?

Use available readership metrics or analytics e.g. where the readers are located to show distribution or uptake.

Have you conducted any events to educate people or promote beneficial change/behaviour change?

Consider an evaluation of the event as evidence of impact. This may include:

• details of what the event was
• what the aims were
• who attended
• how the event was evaluated (i.e. feedback form)
• what you found out.
