• Follow metrics on the site.
  • Convert each SlideShare URL for each of these outputs into a unique URL that you can track yourself. I use Google URL Shortener because of its great analytics. If you are going this route, use these shortened URLs every timeyou share your content. Follow your use metrics on the Google URL Shortener website.
  • The subscription version of ImpactStory tracks SlideShare and figshare.
  • If something you do cannot be hosted on an academic sharing repository site, host it somewhere (like Google Docs) and use Google analytics to track its usage metrics.
  • On each poster you present at a conference, post the poster on SlideShare and then include a QR code for the poster’s unique URL on the poster itself. There are many free QR code generators online.
