Dr Hamid Khan @openscihamid.bsky.social · 06/02/2025As we move away from the Journal Impact Factor, tools like @altmetric.com show how much attention research gets in news, social media and policy docs.

Dr Hamid Khan @openscihamid.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Finally X'iting the sinking ship across the water. I chose Bluesky instead of Mastodon or Threads because the research world seems to be coalescing here. I got up to 300 followers on X.
