Digital Science

The Komodo Publications Planning product allows for a seamless integration with Digital Science's Altmetric product. When fully integrated, users can easily track their published articles using journal metrics, a feature driven by Altmetric, to see how the articles are being interacted with via online engagements. This helps document collaborators monitor and measure the overall impact of their work.

The steps required to integrate the Digital Science's Altmetric API with the Komodo Publications Planning product are as follows:

  1. Establish an agreement with Digital Science to obtain login access and connectivity to their API.

    Note

    Digital Science will provide the API key, which you will use when configuring the integration in your Salesforce instance.

  2. Install the Digital Science package via the Komodo Install Service.

  3. Configure the Digital Science package.

  4. Assign the appropriate Digital Science permissions.

Configure the Digital Science package

After you have received your credentials from Digital Science and have installed the Digital Science package, you need to configure the Digital Science package with your given credentials. The Digital Science package comes with the majority of features operational out-of-the-box, so only minimal configurations are needed.

To set up and configure the Digital Science package:

1. Update the default Digital Science named credential

Komodo Publications Planning provides a Digital Science named credential out-of-the-box. However, you need to update it with the login credentials you have received from your contract with Digital Science.

To update the default Digital Science named credential:

  1. In the Quick Find box in Setup, search for and select Named Credentials.

  2. Click Digital Science.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. In the URL field, enter the Altmetric URL you have received from Digital Science.

    Note

    The base URL will be extended based on which endpoint is being called (e.g., /articles or /journals).

  5. Ensure the Username and Password fields corresponding to the Client ID and Client Secret provided by Digital Science.

  6. Leave all settings under Callout Options as they are.

    Digital Science named credential

  7. Click Save.

2. Update the default Digital Science Setting metadata record

The updated named credential must be attributed to the Digital Science Setting (mvn__PP_Digital_Science_Setting__mdt) custom metadata type.

To attribute the Digital Science named credential to the Digital Science Setting metadata record:

  1. In the Quick Find box in Setup, search for and select Custom Metadata Types.

  2. Click Digital Science Setting.

  3. Click Manage Digital Science Settings.

  4. Next to the Default (PP_Default) metadata record, click Edit.

  5. In the Digital Science Named Credential field, enter the API name of the named credential that you updated in Step 1. Update the default Digital Science named credential above.

  6. Click Save.

Warning

The API name of the Digital Science Setting metadata record must equal PP_Default. Do not modify the Digital Science Setting Name field of the PP_Default Digital Science Setting metadata record.

3. Configure record pages

To ensure that information derived from the Digital Science package displays properly, configurations need to be made on the record pages of both the Journal (mvn__PP_Journal__c) custom object and the Document (mvn__CM_Document__c) custom object as well as on the Document Target Search modal.

Display journal metrics on Journal Record Page

Journal metrics are the data extracted from Digital Science's Altmetric solution that can be displayed in Komodo Publications Planning using the ppdsJournalMetricsWrapper Lightning component. While you can display the journal metrics anywhere in the product, Komodo Health recommends using the component on the Journal Record Page so that the journal metrics appear alongside other journal details.

To display the journal metrics on the Journal Record Page:

  1. In Setup, navigate to the Lightning App Builder.

  2. Next to the Journal Record Page (PP_Journal_Record_Page), click Edit. If the Edit option is not available, click Clone.

  3. From the Components tab on the left side of the page, drag the ppdsJournalMetricsWrapper custom managed component and drop it onto the canvas where you want the journal metrics to appear on the Journal Record Page. Komodo Health recommends creating a new Digital Science tab next to the Related tab so that users can easily identify the journal metrics. For information on adding and customizing custom tabs, reference Salesforce's documentation on how to Add and Customize Tabs on Lightning Pages Using the Lightning App Builder.

  4. Click Save. If you cloned instead of edited the Journal Record Page, you may also need to activate the record page for your users.

Once the ppdsJournalMetricsWrapper component is added to the Journal Record Page, you can use the Journal Metrics Configuration (mvn__PP_Journal_Metrics_Configuration__mdt) custom metadata type to control which metrics appear and how they are displayed in the component.

Display Altmetric Badge on Publication Planning Document Record Page

Digital Science's Altmetric Badge is an easy-to-understand visual representation of the data mined by Digital Science for your publications. It can be displayed anywhere in Komodo Publications Planning using the ppdsAltmetricDocumentBadgeWrapper Lightning component. However, as with the journal metrics, Komodo Health recommends using the component on the Publication Planning Document Record Page so that the publication data appear alongside other publication details.

To display the Altmetric Badge on the Publication Planning Document Record Page:

  1. In Setup, navigate to the Lightning App Builder.

  2. Next to the Publication Planning Document Record Page (PP_Document_Record_Page), click Edit.

  3. From the Components tab on the left side of the page, drag the ppdsAltmetricDocumentBadgeWrapper custom managed component and drop it onto the canvas where you want the Altmetric Badge to appear on the Publication Planning Document Record Page. Komodo Health recommends creating a new Altmetric Badge tab next to the Related and File Details tabs so that users can easily find the visualization. For information on adding and customizing custom tabs, reference Salesforce's documentation on how to Add and Customize Tabs on Lightning Pages Using the Lightning App Builder.

  4. Click Save.

Add Altmetric fields to Document Target Search modal

With the Digital Science package, several Altmetric-related fields are made available on the Journal (mvn__PP_Journal__c) custom object. You can add these fields to the Document Target Search modal so that users can view the journal metrics when searching for and comparing target journals.

To add Altmetric fields to the Document Target Search modal:

  1. In the Object Manager in Setup, search for and select the Journal (mvn__PP_Journal__c) custom object.

  2. Click the appropriate field set that you wish to configure (e.g., Target Compare Fields).

    Note

    Out of the box, the Target Compare Fields field set controls the fields used to compare Journal records on the Compare Targets/Link Targets screen of the Document Target Search modal and is therefore used in this example.

  3. Click and drag the Journal fields you want displayed and drop them into the In the Field Set box.

  4. Click Save.

4. Schedule batch jobs

The batch jobs below ensure that Komodo Publications Planning retrieves the latest data from Digital Science. Each batch job is contained within its own Apex class and needs to be scheduled for execution. It is recommended that the Digital Science batches be scheduled according to the table below. To do so, use the Developer Console to execute the following anonymous Apex strings:

Table 86. Digital Science scheduled batch jobs

Apex string

Recommended timing

System.schedule('Weekly Digital Science Integration', '0 0 19 ? * SAT', new mvn.PP_DigitalScienceSchedulable());

Schedule weekly (e.g., runs every Saturday at 7pm)

mvn.PP_DigitalScienceSchedulable digitalScienceSchedulable = new mvn.PP_DigitalScienceSchedulable();
digitalScienceSchedulable.execute(null);

Schedule to run immediately once



Assign Digital Science permissions

To configure or view Digital Science's Altmetric data, users must be assigned either the PP_DS_Admin or the PP_DS_Read_Only permission set, respectively.

Table 87. Digital Science permission sets

Digital Science data retrieval

The Digital Science package utilizes the Digital Science Setting (mvn__PP_Digital_Science_Setting__mdt) custom metadata type to set up the call to the Altmetric API from your Salesforce instance.

The Digital Science package then uses the PP_DigitalScienceAPIService to match the fields returned from Digital Science to the following custom objects:
