Altmetrics

Gathers article level metrics for papers, and provides altmetric data for publishers, institutions and researchers. Requires a subscription, but Altmetric widgets are included in some databases and eJournals (eg Nature). You can also use the free Altmetric bookmarklet to view altmetric information for any online article with a DOI.

Collates altmetric information for a broad range of research outputs including traditional publications like journal articles, as well as blog posts, datasets, and software. It can be used to build a profile that showcases the impact of these research outputs. Free 30 day trial; $60 per year. Librarians can request a free account for demonstration purposes.

Collects impact metrics in 5 categories - captures, usage, citations, mentions, and social media - for over 20 different types of artifacts including journal articles, books, videos, presentations, datasets, source code, and more. It collects metrics for individual research artifacts, but also for labs, departments and other groups. PlumX Metrics icons appear in our EBSCO databases, including Discovery.
