PlumX Metrics – already available on Scopus records – are comprehensive, item (article)-level metrics that provide insights, beyond traditional citation metrics, into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and more).

Introducing the PlumX Metrics API

Now, PlumX Metrics are also available via the PlumX API for Scopus customers for deeper and more flexible benchmarking and analysis purposes.

When Scopus customers access the API, they will receive a set of metrics for Scopus documents, including citations, usage, captures, mentions and social media.

It’s possible to keep up-to-date and avoid information overload; here’s how

It seems to get harder and harder to be a researcher, not least because of the ever-growing volume of studies being published. You’re under pressure to keep up with all the latest findings (not only in your own discipline but often in others that might impact your work). And it’s not enough to know about specific results and scour huge volumes of data; you need an overview of the trends, emerging data sources and potential collaborators.

All of this while also managing your career.

It’s exhausting; just imagine if you had to do it manually.

Luckily that’s not the case: there are tools, platforms and databases you can use to stay on top of the information and not get overloaded. Like Scopus, the world’s largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed scientific literature.
