The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), an independent society publisher of professional and clinical resources for pediatricians and child health professionals, has announced an agreement with technology company Digital Science to integrate Altmetric badges into their journal platform and have their collections indexed via the ReadCube Discover program.
Through ReadCube's Discover program, the AAP collection of journals, including the flagship journal, Pediatrics, will be deep-indexed to offer enhanced discoverability across ReadCube's suite of web, desktop and mobile reference management and discovery tools including search engines, related article feeds and personalised recommendations. AAP articles will be available in interactive PDFs when viewed in Readcube.
Visitors to the AAP journals will be able to explore all of the online attention relating to individual articles via the Altmetric badges, which provide an indicator of the volume and reach of online engagement. Clicking on the badges will open the related Altmetric details page, where users can view all of the original mentions of the article.
AAP staff will also benefit from access to the Altmetric Explorer, a cloud-based platform that enables users to search, filter and report on the altmetrics for over 12.5 million research outputs - including over 7 million published articles.
Both integrations are live now. Interested parties may visit the AAP journals site to find Altmetric data for individual articles, and search in ReadCube for AAP journal content.
