Though we\u2019re looking at supporting items identified by URL alone this is a little while off. What this basically means is papers on LSHTM Research Online such as pre prints, PhD theses, monographs, books and chapters of books that don&#8217;t have a Digitial Object Identifier (DOI) or are a PudMed ID won&#8217;t be picked up.<\/li>\n<li>We started collecting data in July 2011 and coverage of papers published before that date isn\u2019t great, so be prepared to only really see results on more recent material.<\/li>\n<li>We can\u2019t offer citation counts: as much as we\u2019d like to unfortunately if you want to include this data you need to negotiate with Scopus and\/or Web of Science separately, we aren\u2019t able to do this on your behalf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the original <a title=\"Altmetrics in libraries and institutional repositories\" href=\"http:\/\/www.altmetric.com\/blog\/altmetrics-in-academic-libraries-and-institutional-repositories\/\">post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh Martian Impact Crater by Stuart Rankin (CC-BY) https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/ptSdih As users of the School&#8217;s Publications&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":374,"featured_media":1027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52918],"tags":[27725,44692,3,27724,3788,42124,27636,28433],"class_list":["post-1024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research-online","tag-altmetrics","tag-doi","tag-news","tag-publications-database","tag-pubmed","tag-research-impact","tag-researchonline","tag-social-media","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Explaining Altmetrics at LSHTM - Library, Archive &amp;
