“How much of an impact do my contributions on nanoHUB have? Are people using my resources? I wonder how many people are using my tools? How many times did my work get cited?”
As contributors, we all want to know what impact we have when it comes to our work. We frequently find ourselves asking questions such as those above with no easy way to uncover the accurate answers. The NCN Team understands the importance of evaluating contribution impact. So to help make the search for these answers just a little easier we came up with a way to bring this information directly to your inbox.
Soon when you publish your work on nanoHUB.org, you will receive a monthly impact update email that highlights:
- A count of your nanoHUB contributions, both in total and over the past 30 days
- The number of users for your contributions, both in total and over the past 30 days
- The number of times your contributions have been cited in literature
- Classroom usage including the number of students & classes using your contributions
The monthly impact statement will also feature your top resources including the total number of users of each resource (which you can share with your social circle on social media in a click of a button).
But that’s not all! To help you keep your resource users’ happy, the impact statement highlights “recent activity” for your resources. Each month this allows you to see the exact number of open questions, open tickets, and reviews for those resources.
