Altmetrics are indicators of online engagement that complement traditional citation impact metrics. They can include (but are not limited to):
- peer reviews
- citations on Wikipedia and in public policy documents
- discussions on research blogs
- mainstream media coverage
- bookmarks on reference managers like Mendeley
- mentions on social networks such as Twitter
You can find out altmetrics by searching in the Altmetric Explorer Database, which you can also find on our databases page.
