Abstract

Scholarly and social impacts of scientific publications could be measured by various metrics, including article usage, Mendeley readership and Altmetric scores, etc. But what is the relationship amongst the different metrics?

Xianwen Wang and his colleagues recently conducted a study to answer this question.
