Evaluation and impact

Open Research practice	Links to resources	Alignment with FAIR
Track the number of times your research data has been downloaded from open repositories As with all metrics, numbers only tell part of the story and should be used to support expert judgement; the number of downloads will be affected by discipline and year of publication	Check your dataset record in each repository for the number of downloads	Findable
Document and share examples of your research impacting policy	Fast Track Impact	Accessible
Studies by other researchers building on your work, enabled by open data and sharing your code	The Turing Way: A handbook for reproducible, ethical and collaborative research Data Code	Accessible
Altmetrics track mentions of your research on social media, news outlets and policy documents. This provides a broader picture of the reach and influence of your research beyond traditional academic citations Altmetrics should only be used as a guide for how much attention a research output is receiving relative to similarly aged outputs; high scores are indicative of high engagement, but altmetrics cannot tell the difference between negative and positive attention	University of Southampton Library: altmetrics	Findable
