We are pleased to announce the inclusion of Altmetrics on Lab on a Chip.
With a constantly changing publishing landscape and changes to the way people use scientific literature, altmetrics is a measure that can monitor the level of conversation and interest in a particular piece of research at the article level. Thus altmetrics provides an additional modern metric for our authors to measure the impact of their work, rather than rely solely on citations and impact factor.
To view altmetrics on Lab on a Chip articles, use the Metrics tab as pictured below on the article landing page.
A press release from Altmetrics is available on our website.
