We’re excited to announce that we have started working on a project that sees us partnering with news aggregator Moreover Technologies to provide further expanded mainstream media tracking across the Altmetric database and tools. 

At present, Altmetric monitors a manually curated list of over 1,300 news outlets from around the world, searching for mentions of research outputs. The new partnership with Moreover will help us to expand our coverage to over 80,000 news outlets - in addition to the existing manually curated list.

All news mentions will continue to be displayed on the ‘News’ tab of Altmetric details pages, along with a snippet of text from the article.

By displaying news mentions about scholarly content, we hope to give authors, institutions, publishers, and funders a comprehensive picture of how a piece of academic work is being communicated to a broader audience.
