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. Examples include, when research is mentioned in the news or is tweeted about.
Metrics fall into five separate categories: Usage, Captures, Mentions, Social Media, and Citations.
An appealing aspect of PlumX is the ability to track altmetrics (social mentions of a publication) alongside traditional metrics that are found in Scopus.
For more information, visit the PlumX metrics page.
If the research publication has an interaction that has been captured by PlumX, you will see a PlumX Metrics badge on that page. See below for an example.
Clicking on the details allows you to see how a publication has been discussed in social media or in journals (via Scopus).
