About this video

PlumX metrics provides insights beyond the traditional citation metrics: it looks into ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment.

In this interactive module, we look into how PlumX metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the large amount of data involved.

You will come away with an understanding of why PlumX metrics is important and how to effectively use it to tell the story of your research.
