Altmetric for Pubmed and Google Scholar

Ankit Agrawal

Using this extension, researchers can get Altmetric score for research papers in Google Scholar and PubMed search results. Altmetric score is an indicator of how impactful and influential, a particular paper is. It is complementary to traditional, citation-based metrics. Altmetric score can help researchers understand where and why a piece of research is being discussed and shared, both among other scholars and in the public sphere. For e.g., they can see how a particular paper is being covered in the news, blogs and Twitter.
