"Museum Impact: finding & analysing the use of NHM specimens in published research" a talk by Ross Mounce, Scientific Associate in the NHM Informatics Group.

Abstract: We store something like 80 million biological specimens at the NHM. What do researchers do with them? Where do they publish the results of research on these specimens? Does the published literature contain the same information as our catalogues do, or does new information about specimens not make it back to the catalogue? This talk will aim to explain how you can combine new copyright exceptions, text-mining and the NHM Open Data portal (http://data.nhm.ac.uk/) to discover the impact of NHM-held specimens in the last 15 years worth of biological research. Over 1,300,000 publications were analysed during the production of this research.
