has best practice: There are different online companies offering altmetrics services. Some of them are Altmetric, Impactstory, and Plum Analytics.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000007-QINU`"' They can track HTML views and PDF downloads, shared articles on social media platforms, saved and cited items. Altmetrics scores are often indicators of how popular an article is online with the general public. Unlike typical research metrics, Altmetrics software enables the user to track the dissemination of publications in real time. Some publishers have started offering their readers this information (BioMed Central, PLOS, Nature, Elsevier). Some argue that this form of metric is not a good indicator of popularity or quality, as social media activity and time of publication can have a big influence on the metric. '"`UNIQ--ref-00000008-QINU`"' There seems to be no correlation between citations and altmetrics. '"`UNIQ--references-00000009-QINU`"'
