  1. Harvest Media Mentions from Altmetric

    Media Mentions are an excellent way to showcase the impact of our university’s research, but we haven’t made use of this functionality because we don’t have the staff time to find and enter this information one by one. But there are sources for this data, like Altmetric. Esploro already displays Altmetric scores, badges, and details at the research asset level. Altmetric tracks each mention of a research output by news outlets (for example: https://dimensions.altmetric.com/details/49291201/news). If Altmetric news outlet mentions could be harvested by Esploro as Media Mentions, it would greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of this functionality. As…

  2. Enhance Smart Expansion via Bibtex by adding CDI auto population job

    When importing records via Bibtex files, records are created but fail to sync with the journal details like Peer Review and Open Access status. When you open the record, both fields are marked as unknown but when you "refresh" the journal name, it seems to retrieve the data necessary to populate these fields. Is it possible to create a separate or subsequent CDI auto population job that matches and updates the journal information for any Smart Expansion via bibtext job so that these don't have to be fixed manually by going to each assert?

    Even if there was an intermediary…

  3. Add DOI/No DOI as a Facet to Smart Harvest author matching

    Articles with DOIs are easier to verify because you can click the DOI and review the published version of record.

    We would like a "has DOI" and "NO DOI" facet because this would speed up Smart Harvest author matching, and potentially allow lower-level staff to review.

    Staff could review "has DOI" matching and check the published version to verify affiliation. Records requiring more review or investigation could be left for higher-level staff.

  4. Add research topics at "add researcher" step within record

    When a researcher is incorrectly matched, we often have to create a new non-affiliated one in the record. We can add their affiliation, but we can't add research topics. If the name is common, we have to look them up by researcher and add the research topics.

    It would be more efficient to add research topics (as keywords) during this step.
