Scientists talk. Let's listen.
We make alternative metrics easy.

The Altmetric Explorer is a powerful web app that allows you to track the conversations around scientific articles online.

Altmetric collects and analyzes hundreds of thousands of postings about tens of thousands of articles and datasets each month.

It makes this data available to end users through an intuitive user interface and to developers through an API.
