Altmetrics lets us measure and monitor the reach and impact of scholarship and research through online interaction. Simply, altmetrics are metrics beyond traditional citations.
Almetric.com
Altmetric employs an algorithm to assign each item an automatically calculated score. Based on the volume and source of attention an item has received, the score is intended to reflect the reach or popularity of the research output. A multicolored ‘donut’ visualization is also generated to provide a summary of the sources of the attention that an item has received (red for news, light blue for Twitter, etc.).

PlumX Metrics
PlumX Metrics provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment.
It categorizes metrics into 5 separate categories: Citations, Usage, Captures, Mentions, and Social Media. (Watch a brief overview about PlumX Metrics.)
- Citation:citation indexes, patent citations, clinical citations, policy citations
- Usage:clicks, downloads, views, library holdings, video plays
- Capture:bookmarks, code forks, favorites, readers, watchers
- Mention:blog posts, comments, reviews, Wikipedia references, news media
- Social Media:shares, likes, comments, tweets

PLoS Article Level Metrics, ALMs
ALMs are quantifiable measures that document the many ways in which both scientists and the general public engage with published research. It track the reach, use and reuse of research outcomes – from articles and figures to datasets and code – to help guide understanding of a work’s influence.
PLOS ALMs are calculated based on the following sources:
- Viewed: PLOS Journals (HTML, PDF, XML), PubMed Central (HTML, PDF)
- Cited: CrossRef, Datacite, Europe PMC, PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science
- Discussed: PLOS Comments, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Wikipedia
- Saved: CiteULike, Mendeley
- Recommended: F1000 Prime
Resource: Metrics - PLOS
