Impact Story - An open-source, web-based tool that helps researchers explore and share the diverse impacts of all their research products--from traditional ones like journal articles, to emerging products like blog posts, datasets, and software. By helping researchers tell data-driven stories about their impacts, we're helping to build a new scholarly reward system that values and encourages web-native scholarship (from the publisher's website).

PLOS ALM - Article Level Metrics measures the impact of research. ALMs provide a suite of established metrics that measure the overall performance and reach of published research articles.

Plum Analytics - Delivers a more complete picture of research and answers questions about research impact for anyone including researchers, librarians, administrators, and funders. PlumX gathers metrics across five categories—usage, mentions, captures, social media and citations. Metrics are gathered around what Plum Analytics calls artifacts—more than just the journal articles that a researcher authors (from the publisher's website). Also available through our Ebsco databases.
