What does the Altmetric badge mean next to my publication?

If there is an Altmetric badge showing next to your publication, this represents the online attention and activity that has been found for this research output. If you click on it, it will expand into more details and can take you to an Altmetric details page. On this details page, you can see all the conversations surrounding the research output in one place. Altmetric collects relevant mentions from social media sites, newspapers, policy documents, blogs, Wikipedia, and many other sources. To help you put the data in context, the research output is given an Altmetric Attention Score, which is a high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. The scoring algorithm takes various factors into account, such as the relative reach of the different sources of attention. 

Please note that the Altmetric Attention Score can't tell you anything about the quality of the research output. We always recommend that you read through the actual mentions listed in each tab, in addition to the output itself.
