Where can I find altmetrics?

Altmetric It! Bookmarklet

The Altmetric It! browser bookmarklet allows readers to instantly look up altmetrics for any research online, with the click of a button. Readers not only get access to an article’s metrics, but also the underlying qualitative data to learn who’s saying what about that piece of research.

Impactstory

Publisher websites

Publishers worldwide integrate altmetrics data into their websites, usually in one of two ways:

1. In the form of a badge or summary visualization (seen on the right sidebar of this Biomed Central article)
2. In general “metrics” reports that also include pageview and download information (seen here on a Science article)

Dimensions

Dimensions allows users to look up citations and basic altmetrics for any of the 91 million works it indexes.
