Article-Level Metrics (ALMs) measure the reach and impact of individual articles using both academic and social sources, highlighting the many ways in which both scientists and the general public are engaging with the research. This includes downloads, citations, blogs, media coverage, social media shares, comments and Wikipedia mentions. ALMs reveal the influence of an article before the accumulation of citations, help prioritize what to read in the growing body of Open Access literature and help assess the impact of funding sources. ALMs shift the conversation surrounding an article’s influence away from the journal and toward the individual article. Learn more about ALMs.
