Twitter / X was once the place for researchers to share their work, but the times they are a-changin'. @Bluesky may be where it's at (for now at least). Since 1 Jan 2025, research has been shared 5M times on Bluesky - this is 'actually massively high'. See @altmetric.com thread. 🎖️🎓🗺️
The University's new Responsible Research Assessment Guidelines are now available. LRS provided guidance on how to ensure that bibliometrics are used appropriately and responsibly.
