Article-Level Metrics: Development Process, Characteristics,Indicators and Application

Abstract

Abstract:

Firstly, we illustrated the connotation of article-level metrics and its difference with altmetrics.Secondly, we briefly described the development process of article-level metrics. Thirdly, article-level metrics has five characteristics: the immediacy and the socialization; scholarly visibility and social visibility; shortterm indicators and long-term indicators; qualitative method and quantitative method; open access and open data. Take PLOS for example, we introduced the latest classification of the article-level metrics. We summarized the major types of article-level metrics tools and the application of tools in publishing. At last, we concluded the potential of article-level metrics for researchers, research institution, funders and publishers.

Key words: Article-level metrics, Altmetrics, Article evaluation
