Research Metrics

 This is a Snowball Metric. Learn more about Snowball Metrics.

Altmetrics are article level metrics that complement traditional metrics as a way of gauging attention (both academic and non-academic).  They are harvested from news outlets, reference managers, social media and blogs, to name a few.  Altmetrics measure public attention, not quality.  People pay attention to papers for all sorts of reasons, not all of them positive.
