BMJ Impact Analytics launches badges

Healthcare knowledge provider BMJ Group has announced the launch of BMJ Impact Analytics badges.

According to the publisher, BMJ Impact Analytics makes it easy to find, track, and share the real-world impact of research on health and medical care. Since its launch in 2023, BMJ says it has collaborated with funders, universities, and researchers globally to comprehend their real-world impact-related challenges and guarantee that BMJ Impact Analytics keeps progressing and adapting to meet their requirements.

BMJ says its most recent development, BMJ Impact Analytics badges, provide researchers with an instant summary of the real-world impact of the research they've either authored or are reading. Subscribed customers can use BMJ Impact Analytics to delve into the results and further context on sources and citations. The badges use different colours to categorise source types, and the numbers on the badges indicate the actual number of citations for each source, added the publisher.

Anca Babor, director of customers and markets at BMJ Group, said: "Empowering users with BMJ Impact Analytics badges is a milestone in our pursuit of bringing about positive and impactful advances in healthcare. By providing instant access to the real-world impact of research, we are advancing knowledge and facilitating decision making in healthcare funding."
