Your research, working harder.

A scholar-impact tracker that goes beyond Google Scholar's single citation count. Finds where your work lands across 20+ corpora — and tells you every week where a fresh news headline meets your old research.

For one real scholar, what each tool sees:

Google Scholar shows
1,988
citations — one number, no detail
vs
TrackImpact captures
2,973
impacts across 20 corpora · 348 works in 15 types · 40 syndication clusters

1. Tracks where your work actually lands

Most tools wrap one source and call it done. We pull from 20+ corpora:

  • Academic: OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, ORCID, Crossref
  • Policy: regulations.gov rulemakings, OIRA reports, Economic Report of the President, Joint Economic Reports
  • Legislative: Congressional Record, hearing transcripts, JEC, govinfo (full Congress)
  • Legal: Court opinions + briefs via CourtListener
  • Media: 50+ news venues + GDELT global index + think-tank citations + syndication detector
  • Books, Wikipedia, podcasts, op-eds, blog citations, Fed Reserve speeches…

2. Discovers your works automatically

No setup. We pull your portfolio from:

  • Your think-tank bio page (Hoover, Mercatus, AEI, Cato, Heritage…)
  • Personal site + Substack + Hoover Daily Economy
  • ORCID, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar profile
  • Site-scoped Brave + Tavily for op-eds across 50+ venues

Or upload a CV.xlsx and we'll import every tab. covers 68% of curated profiles autonomously

3. Op-ed opportunities every week new

The differentiator. Every Monday morning we send you:

  • 5–15 fresh news headlines that connect to your existing research
  • Each one tells you exactly which of your papers it relates to
  • One click → Claude drafts the first 2 paragraphs of your op-ed for ~$0.002

Passive tracking becomes active publishing. Your old research keeps earning you bylines.

4. Syndication, surfaced

When your WaPo op-ed runs in 67 newspapers, most tools show 67 noisy rows. We cluster them into one row with a "+67 syndicated outlets" badge. So you actually see the picture.

  • State legislatures that adopted your approach (we track 8 in one scholar's profile)
  • Think tanks building on your data (15 in one scholar's profile)
  • Federal policy documents (Economic Report of the President, OIRA, JEC) citing you
Who this is for: Think-tank scholars, university researchers, policy fellows whose work spans journals, op-eds, briefs, testimony, and the press — not just peer-reviewed articles. If your impact extends beyond Google Scholar's view of you, this tool sees what they don't.
Beta examples in our dev DB: Hoover, Mercatus, GW Regulatory Studies, Stanford GSB.
