Wiley Online Library Altmetric Data
Altmetrics data is now available across many of the articles on Wiley Online Library following the successful pilot across Open Access articles.
The Altmetric.com, who provide the data, collect article level metrics and the online conversations around research papers by tracking a selection of online indicators (both scholarly and non-scholarly) to give a measurement of digital impact and reach. 'Mentions' that contain links to any version of the same paper are picked up, and collated. The result is the Altmetric score.
The Altmetric data available on the journal articles allows you to:
See the attention that each article is receiving in real-time
Explore the conversations surrounding the content
Identify recent papers your peers think are interesting
The Almetric Score
The score is a quantitative measure of the attention that a scholarly article has received. It is derived from 3 main factors:
| 1. | Volume The score for an article rises as more people mention it. |
| 2. | Sources Each category of mention contributes a different base amount to the final score. |
| 3. | Authors How often the author of each mention talks about scholarly articles influences the contribution of the mention. |
