AB Altmetrics measure the digital attention received by a research output. They allow us to gauge the immediate socialimpact of an article by taking real-time measurements of how it circulates in the Internet. While there are severalcompanies offering attention scores, the most extensive are Altmetric.com (Altmetric Attention Score—AAS) andPlum X (Plum Print). As this is an emerging topic, many medical specialities have tried to establish if there is a relationshipbetween an article’s altmetric data and the citations it subsequently receives. The results have varied dependingon the research field. In radiology, the social network most used is Twitter and the subspeciality with the highestAAS is neuroimaging. This article will review the process involved from the start when an article is published throughto finally obtaining its altmetric score. It will also address the relationship between altmetrics and more traditionalapproaches focusing on citations in radiology and will discuss the advantages and limitations of these new impactindicators.
