Research Metrics

The following resources provide article citation counts and author citation reports to help assess and articulate research impact.

  • Scopus  (MacEwan login required) -  Select the  Author Search  tab, perform author search, and select author’s name to view profile and metrics.

Altmetrics

Altmetrics are non-traditional metrics that demonstrate online research impact. Explore things like how many times your work has downloaded, shared on social media, and discussed in the news. 

  • Altmetric Bookmarklet - Find article-level metrics for how many times online works have been viewed, downloaded, and shared on various social media sites. 
  • ImpactStory Profiles - Create an author profile that lists your works and provides detailed metrics on how your work is being read, downloaded, tweeted, bookmarked, and more.
  • PlumX (from Plum Analytics) - Find metrics and altmetrics for articles and other scholarly works available in article records in Science Direct and Scopus.
