Assess research reach with OpenAlex citations, optional Altmetric data, and journal context. Use when comparing papers, journals, or literature shortlists by influence.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Scientific Impact Assessment

Use this skill to measure the reach of a paper with citation, attention, and journal-level context.

## Instructions

1. Prefer a DOI or OpenAlex work ID as input.
   - If you only have a title, use `/crossref-lookup` first to resolve a DOI before running this skill.
2. Use the bundled CLI:
   - In this repository: `skills/scientific-impact-assessment/scripts/measure-impact`
   - After installation: `~/.agents/skills/scientific-impact-assessment/scripts/measure-impact`
3. OpenAlex is the default source for paper-level citation data.
   - The CLI retrieves `cited_by_count`, publication year, journal/source name, and citation history from OpenAlex.
4. Altmetric is optional enrichment. The Details Page API requires an API key.
   - Without `ALTMETRIC_API_KEY`, the CLI reports Altmetric as unavailable (`no_api_key`) instead of failing. A keyless request to `api.altmetric.com/v1/doi/...` returned HTTP 403 when checked on 2026-10-01.
5. Journal-level impact factors come from the curated references table in `references/journal_metrics_2024.tsv`.
   - These are curated public web values, mostly from official publisher pages.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/scientific-impact-assessment@sha256:0dca74a245172b0c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.3faa684, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
