Zohreh Zahedi from Leiden University created a dataset comparing altmetrics from three providers for 1,000 PLOS ONE publications. The data was used for a study presented at the altmetrics14 workshop in June 2014. It likely contains metrics from PLOS ALM, Mendeley, and Altmetric.com APIs to analyze consistency across providers.
Use Cases
- Compare consistency of impact scores based on data from three altmetrics providers.
- Analyze correlations between different altmetric sources based on the described API data.
- Study the societal impact of scientific publications based on altmetric indicators.
- Benchmark altmetric provider performance based on a sample of 1,000 PLOS ONE articles.
Strengths
- Focuses on a specific, well-defined sample of 1,000 PLOS ONE publications.
- Compares data from three distinct altmetrics providers (PLOS ALM, Mendeley, Altmetric.com).
- Associated with peer-reviewed research presented at a recognized academic workshop.
Limitations
- Row count for the underlying dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
