Altmetric Visualization Toolkit

This guide is intended to introduce you to some ways you can visualize data downloaded from Altmetric Explorer. Don’t worry if you’re totally new to Tableau Public and data visualization! This guide is for beginners, and no prior knowledge or experience is necessary. In addition to an Altmetric Explorer subscription, you’ll need to download Tableau Public, but that’s it.

This guide walks you through the basics of creating visualizations with as little data cleaning as possible and with as slight of a learning curve as possible. But the sky's the limit! Use this as a jumping off point—we’d love to see what you create. 

These visualizations were all created using the same search in Altmetric Explorer. We limited our search to outputs published in the subject area Environmental Sciences by researchers affiliated with an anonymous university.
