Silverchair Information Systems has announced that Altmetric will provide alternative metrics data to two new STM publishers via its SCM6 online publishing platform. This will provide researchers and authors with up-to-date evidence of the real-world application of research across a wide breadth of online communications.
JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the titles published by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (including the American Journal of Audiology and the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research) will now join CHEST journal in displaying Altmetric data on their research article pages.
Altmetric tracks mentions of an article in post-publication peer-review forums, mainstream and social media, online reference managers, and in policy documents.
Silverchair's partnership with Altmetric enables all publishers on the SCM6 platform an easy and fast integration with the Altmetric data, and provides better insight into the reception of an article for their authors, website users, and internal publishing teams.
Altmetric focuses on providing fully auditable and high quality data, achieved by selecting trusted providers and manually curating a source list of over 1,000 news outlets and 8,000 blogs across all disciplines.
