And man have we got some goodness in store for y'all:
- Reporting that puts metrics in context based on type of use? Yup.
- Normalization against Web of Science-indexed articles? Check.
- Reporting percentile scores (with confidence intervals!) instead of just raw numbers? Oh yes indeed.
- Dozens of bugfixes and huge performance improvements? You best believe it.
I could go on, but you know what's better? Visit
http://impactstory.it and check out all the awesome new changes for yourself! We'd love feedback.
It's still very much beta software, but it's also a quantum leap up from the old total-impact in capability, focus, and robustness. We think this is a really big step forward for our users and for altmetrics in general, and we're really, really excited about it (if you hadn't guessed).
Thanks to everyone who gave us early feedback over the weekend, and looking forward to hearing more from everyone this week. Y'all keep finding bugs, we'll keep squashin' em.
Woohoo! onward!
