When Faculty Members recommend an article for Faculty Opinions, they also write a brief review explaining what makes the article so important and rate it as 'Good', 'Very Good' or 'Exceptional' (equivalent to scores of 1, 2 or 3 stars, respectively). Faculty Opinions uses the individual scores to calculate the total scores for each article, which are used to rank the articles in each discipline.
- PLoS (Public Library of Science) Article Level Metrics
A leading open access journal repository for scientists, PLoS offers metrics that track the influence of individual PLoS articles from times downloaded to mentions in social media and blogs. Only PLoS articles are tracked and benefit from these metrics. Thus far, this tool is fairly narrow in coverage.
- SSRN (Views and Downloads)
An online article repository that includes a database of more than 400,000 abstracts, electronic articles and specialized subject networks where researchers can promote their work and connect to other scholars' work. Like Mendeley and PLoS, there are site-specific metrics for top papers, authors, and institutions in the social sciences.
