The Ambassadors program was debuted in response to requests to help researchers and librarians worldwide spread the word about altmetrics (in general) and Altmetric.com (in particular) at their institutions.
A team of volunteer Ambassadors will:
- Stay up-to-date with the latest altmetrics news and research
- Host brown bags to introduce their colleagues to altmetrics and Altmetric's tools
- Show their colleagues how to explore the online attention surrounding their work using the Altmetric bookmarklet
- Add Altmetric badges to their personal or lab web pages
- Share their stories to demonstrate how altmetrics can help all researchers
In return, they will receive exclusive Altmetric swag, learn top-secret development plans for Altmetric products, get bought coffee and donuts any time when hosting an Altmetric-related workshop, and get help in connecting with a fantastic, international group of like-minded researchers and librarians.
