For Professors
Turn isolated assignments into collaborative scholarship with measurable longitudinal impact.
How ironic is it that in an uncertain job market and with heavy student debt, some of students' best academic assets are still treated as disposable?
Measure Real Engagement
Track more than grades: views, downloads, citation behavior, and peer discussion around student work.
Teach Collective Thinking
Help students move from isolated submission habits to active dialogue and evidence-based disagreement.
Improve Career Readiness
Guide students toward portfolios employers can review for proof of reasoning, communication, and domain depth.
How It Works in a Course
- Assign with publication in mind: Students submit work designed for reflection, critique, and reuse.
- Monitor discourse: Observe how students cite, challenge, and build on each other through structured interaction.
- Evaluate complete outcomes: Pair rubric grades with engagement signals to assess longitudinal growth.
Altmetric-Informed Signals
- Viewed: HTML views and PDF downloads
- Discussed: comments and social discussion traces
- Saved and cited: bookmarks, references, and downstream reuse
