What to Expect

In a research impact consultation, a librarian can show scholars how to:

  • Use subscription databases such as Scopus and Web of Science to locate citation metrics, altmetrics, policy mentions, and patent mentions
  • Locate web tutorials and webinars on bibliometric features within open-source platforms such as OpenAlex and VOSViewer
  • Identify potential collaborators at Penn and beyond through topic and collaboration networks
  • Identify high-impact publishers related to one's primary area of research and/or interdisciplinary fields
  • Surface ethical concerns related to research impact metrics
