New forms of discovery
• Mendeley Suggest– personalized recommendations based
on reading history• related articles
– relatedness based on document similarity
• recommender frameworks– implement recommendations as a
service• third-party recommender services
– serve niche audiences

Data we collect
• Metadata about the paper–title, author, tags, annotations, reads, shares, groups
• Metadata about the researcher–discipline, educational status, country, papers they’ve authored, presentations, expertise
2.7M researchers
Defining readership
• Each document addition is a “read”
• stamped with metadata describing the context of the read event
• a read is like a citation, but faster and captures more
research impacts more than authors
Citations are slow
Mendeley is fast
Readership vs. citations
• it comes with a payload of metadata
• it accrues faster• it illuminates previously hidden impact

What would people build if they could get the data?
• Impact Story – get credit for all your work
• PLOS ALM – article-level metrics for papers
• Plum Analytics – bespoke analytics for libraries (EBSCO)
• Altmetric.com – altmetrics for publishers. (Digital Science)
