Altmetrics = alternatives (to traditional) metrics that include social bookmarking (Mendeley, CiteULike), academic blogs, and social media mentions.
Scopus provides a suite of altmetrics for each article provided by PlumX (see below) and a number of publishers are now including altmetric information on the article's web page. You can also download the Altmetric.com bookmarklet (example at right) to find altmetrics for any article on a web page that includes a DOI. Altmetric information allows you to click through to the source of social media mentions.
