Editors & publishers talk too...

"Altmetric Explorer is an exciting, powerful and useful tool"
Altmetric Explorer is an exciting, powerful and useful tool for BioMed Central. It gives us a targeted view of how much impact each individual paper is having, and where in the world of social media and the web these comments are being made. Rebecca Fairbairn, BioMed Central	Altmetric is currently the only product which provides us with article level metrics on social media activity. This allows us to monitor the public discussions of content in social media and to evaluate these, which confirms our interest in discussions that go beyond the publishing process. Martijn Roelandse, Springer
"Has been really popular with our users"
Altmetric Explorer has the potential to change the way we understand the impact that research has within academia and more importantly the wider impact that it has in society. Ian Mulvany, eLife	Altmetric complements Scopus citations to provide the widest view of an article's academic and societal impact from the day it is published. When seeking a partner, Altmetric's focus on data integrity and ease of implementation made them the obvious choice. Michael Habib, Scopus
"Keeps articles plugged into the ongoing conversation"
We want to know what people think - and are saying - about the articles Nature Chemistry is publishing. Altmetric Explorer is a very quick and easy way to identify which papers seem to be generating buzz and links out to the actual coverage and so lets us know who is engaging with our content. Stuart Cantrill, Nature Publishing Group	The Altmetric API made integration with Utopia Documents really easy. Having up-to-date information about a paper's impact has been really popular with our users, and really helps keep articles plugged into the ongoing conversation. Steve Pettifer, Utopia Docs
