Over 2.5 million research outputs deposited on Figshare will now display Altmetric Badges, ushering in a new era of data-level metrics.
This new integration means that the attention data for datasets, videos, images, code and other alternative research outputs will be presented within the Figshare platform, and users will be able to access a collated record of all of the comments, shares and discussion relating to an item with a single click.
The attention data for individual research outputs is gathered by Altmetric in real-time from thousands of non-traditional sources including public policy documents, mainstream and social media, online reference managers, post-publication peer-review forums, and other online forums such as F1000 and Wikipedia.
Both Figshare and Altmetric are part of the Digital Science stable which also includes ReadCube, Overleaf and Symplectic amongst others.
Altmetric Badges are live on Figshare now.
