PlumX Metrics: Painting a Picture of Scholarly Influence

Abstract

Plum Analytics revolutionizes research impact assessment by aggregating online interactions into PlumX Metrics. Acquired by Elsevier in 2017, Plum Analytics categorizes metrics into Captures, Mentions, Social Media, and Citations. These metrics transcend traditional citation indexes, providing real-time insights into societal engagement with scholarly work. PlumX Metrics offer researchers a nuanced understanding of their impact, tracking interactions such as downloads, news articles, and social media mentions. The Plum Print visualizes these metrics, facilitating quick comprehension. Plum Analytics' dynamic approach adapts to technological shifts, delivering timely and comprehensive assessments of research impact.
