ABSTRACT
This poster presents the architecture and user interface of a prototype service that was designed to allow end-users to explore the structure of science and perform assessments of scholarly impact on the basis of large-scale usage data. The underlying usage data set was constructed by the MESUR project which collected 1 billion usage events from a wide range of publishers, aggregators, and institutional consortia.

Usage impact factor: The effects of sample characteristics on usage-based impact metrics
There exist ample demonstrations that indicators of scholarly impact analogous to the citation-based ISI Impact Factor can be derived from usage data; however, so far, usage can practically be recorded only at the level of distinct information services. ...
Comparison of citation and usage indicators in research assessment in scientific disciplines and journals
Proceeding from the results of an earlier pilot study usage and citation impact data from the 2013 annual volume of the Web of Science Core Collection were collected and used to build indicators. Besides basic indicators on citation impact, usage counts ...
