Researcher Profiles in Altmetric

Altmetric tracks research items and where they are mentioned or cited online. Searching by researcher name wasn't a feature unless you imported your own from a repository or CRIS

Today we are launching a global researcher search feature.

1/5

NEW – See the full picture of researcher influence
Discover Research Search, the new feature on Altmetric that allows users to access comprehensive researcher-level analytics, enabling them to view researcher attention within specific search results and identify top researchers in a field:

Search for researchers by name, or affiliation
Obtain impact data near real-time and almost immediately after publication
Get a comprehensive, real-time view of a researcher’s influence across policy, media, and professional networks
Export ready-to-share researcher profiles to support internal reporting, public dashboards, or strategic reviews

@kentsisresearch.bsky.social develop a proteogenomics workflow to detect 1000s of unknown cancer proteins. PG3 combines long-read RNA sequencing with multi-protease MS to discover non-canonical proteins in cancer cells. Used a timsTOF HT, nanoElute 2 & Aurora Ultimate 25x75 column:

When testing a computational data analysis method: simulated data are good for checking whether the method is doing what you think it should be doing, real data for checking whether what you think it should be doing is any good.

The European Symposium on Single Cell Proteomics (ESCP) will be held in Vienna for the 6th time, from August 26th – 27th 2025 This year's focus will include spatial proteomics studies on the single-cell level. There is no registration fee
Hotel rooms in Vienna are inexpensive.

We’re excited to present this integrative analysis of single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics of the human HSPC hierarchy. Now published in @science.org together with @fabiantheis.bsky.social, @erwinschoof.bsky.social, @porsebo.bsky.social.

Mapping early human blood cell differentiation using single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics

Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has facilitated the characterization of cell state heterogeneity and recapitulation of differentiation trajectories. However, the exclusive use of mRNA measurem...

Here’s an interesting story for #teammassspec. Liraglutide went generic in December 2024 and we have been developing methods for impurity characterization but we kept seeing an unusual modification with a +12 Da shift. A little digging revealed that others had noticed that the n-terminal histidine..

That was a later upgrade as projects got bigger and bigger - long live the RAID cards 😅

Erwin Schoof @erwinschoof.bsky.social · Jun 26

We built a custom Thread ripper (7980X) rig with 256Gb of RAM and 24Tb of SSD to plough through all the single-cell raw files. Up-front investment, but cheaper in the long run compared to paying for CPU time on an HPC. And it's FAST, runs my whole lab! 😅

Pumped to finally show off our spatial proteomics work presented a few weeks ago at the EAS Congress @eassociety.bsky.social and now live on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social 🥳

Time for a science thread! #TeamMassSpec #SpatialProteomics #AtheroSky 🧵

Tried presenting my data at #EuPA2025. Then decided to scale things up... Turns out, volcano plots look great in sand and people are more interested in what we scientists do.

The reports of Bluesky’s death have been greatly exaggerated

Altmetric @altmetric.com · Jun 18

The trend is still in Bluesky's favour. X is still larger but very regularly Bluesky easily eclipses it in terms of research being shared.

Linda Yaccarino claimed X had 600m users in April. Bluesky has 36m accounts created in total.

Graph showing Twitter vs Bluesky research postings. 3rd June 2025 shows 26,725 posts on Bluesky, X has 20,779 by comparison.

The financial crisis of the HE sector in the UK now leads to increased numbers of grant and fellowship applications, pushing down the success rates. Since also overheads increased, in some cases we will see success rates halved.

There is a BBSRC fellowship which will have a success rate of 5%.
