Alternative metrics provider Altmetric has added citation data from research insights platform Dimensions to all of its tools and services, providing extensive visibility of where and to what extent scholarly publications have been cited by other academic works.
Part of technology company Digital Science, Altmetric collects online mentions relating to published research to make it possible for authors, publishers, institutions and funders to more easily identify and monitor the academic and broader influence of their work.
The openly-available Dimensions citation data joins mentions from sources such as the mainstream media, patents and policy makers on Altmetric details pages, which provide a complete record of all of the online attention found for an item.
Along with a count of total citations, the top 3 most recent citing publications are now listed in a new tab on Altmetric details pages. The details pages can be accessed by clicking on the Altmetric badges where they appear on publisher sites and institutional repositories, or within the Altmetric Explorer platform, where users can now sort search results by citation counts and export the data for further analyses.
The Dimensions citation data are live now in the Altmetric Explorer and details pages.
