Note:

  • The altmetrics sourced from PlumX (via Scopus) may overlap with altmetrics sourced from Altmetric Explorer. 
  • Altmetric Explorer may provide more comprehensive information for many disciplines, though PlumX can be more detailed for Health/Medicine disciplines (e.g. it includes clinical practice guidelines and clinical citations).
  • PlumX is particularly good for citations in Australian policy documents.
