Altmetrics is used to refer to "alternative metrics" or "article-level metrics." These metrics attempt to fill a gap by using social media mentions, link backs, blogs, news outlet coverage, and other web platform metrics to measure the impact of a particular work.

Altmetrics are especially well suited to datasets and types of scholarly work not covered by traditional metrics. Some of our databases and publishers (Scopus, Nature Publishing Group, SpringerLink, and more) incorporate altmetric data directly into their platforms.
