Scopus

Altmetrics / PlumX metrics

Scopus includes altmetric data relating to individual publications using PlumX metrics. These are displayed in the right hand pane when viewing a full record in Scopus.
Altmetrics (alternative metrics) are measures of the impact of published research beyond traditional citations, which can be used to supplement the information gained from traditional bibliometrics. In Scopus they can show scholarly interest (eg Mendeley bookmarking), media interest (eg news stories), or public engagement (eg social media activity).
