I am so looking forward to this challenge, but I still can’t decide what kind of site to create. Will wait a bit and see what other people come up with in the meantime.

@sarastarbucksantos : Yours is looking really good!

@caitlinduffy49 : Is there anyway one might revive an already  existing (and very old…) WordPress site by incorporating or…[Read more]

@SaraStarbuckSantos: Thanks for sharing how you’re using Altmetric to research the current work in your field! I think that’s a great idea (and one that I plan to use myself).
