Altmetric Attention score
Altmetrics complement traditional bibliometrics (based on scientific citations). Altmetrics enables us to measure the societal impact of a scientific publication by tracking how often publications are mentioned in e.g. social media, (scientific) blogs, news releases, and public policy documents.
This may be useful to measure if publications of a researcher or institute have impact outside academics.
