In the current UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) and the Excellence inResearch for Australia (ERA) societal impact measurements are inherent parts ofthe national evaluation systems. In this study, we deal with a relatively newform of societal impact measurements. Recently, Altmetric - a start-upproviding publication level metrics - started to make data for publicationsavailable which have been mentioned in policy documents. We regard this datasource as an interesting possibility to specifically measure the (societal)impact of research. Using a comprehensive dataset with publications on climatechange as an example, we study the usefulness of the new data source for impactmeasurement. Only 1.2% (n=2,341) out of 191,276 publications on climate changein the dataset have at least one policy mention. We further reveal that paperspublished in Nature and Science as well as from the areas "Earth and relatedenvironmental sciences" and "Social and economic geography" are especiallyrelevant in the policy context. Given the low coverage of the climate changeliterature in policy documents, this study can be only a first attempt to studythis new source of altmetric data. Further empirical studies are necessary inupcoming years, because mentions in policy documents are of special interest inthe use of altmetric data for measuring target-oriented the broader impact ofresearch.

Policy documents as sources for measuring societal impact: How often is climate change research mentioned in policy-related documents?
