Altmetric - article level

Altmetric of the articles…

Mentions and articles discussed via Social Media platforms – 2016 Additional research-impact indices, known as alternative metrics, are offering new evaluation alternatives One of those is a researchers‚ reputation made via their footprint on the social web The social media statistics are provided by Altmetric They monitor article mentions on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Reddit, Blogs, News articles, Policy documents and Faculty of 1000 reviews

Altmetric https://www. nature Altmetric score Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention and the number in the centre is the Altmetric score. The score is calculated based on two main sources of online attention: social media and mainstream news media. Altmetric also tracks usage in online reference managers such as Mendeley and CiteULike, but these do not contribute to the score. Older articles will typically score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for articles of a "similar age" (published within 6 weeks of either side of the publication date of this article). For a more detailed description of Altmetric, the Altmetric score, and sources used, please see Altmetric's information page. Twitter demographics Provides the number of tweets broken down by country of origin for the Twitter account. The geographic breakdown for the twitter sources is provided by Altmetric and is updated hourly.
