PlumX Metrics provides insight into how people engage with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and more) online. Examples include when research is mentioned in the news or included in a policy quote. These metrics, collectively known as PlumX Metrics, are divided into five categories to help understand the large amounts of data involved and enable analysis by comparing like with like.
