Sažetak
Background: Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) and PlumX Metrics are becoming important to evaluate the impact of the publication
in addition to classical scientific rating method such as citation count and impact factor. These metrics collect data about
publications’ tweet count, Facebook interaction count and other social interactions. In this study, it is aimed to examine the association
between AAS, PlumX Metrics and citation count of top child and adolescent psychiatry.
Methods: We identified the five journals and retrospectively analysed the publications published in 2019. All the original research
articles, met analysis, and reviews were analysed. The articles were divided into two groups as original articles/research articles
and meta-analysis/systematic review. We have hypothesized that there could be a positive correlation between AAS and PlumX
Metrics data and citation count among these journals and there could be a difference between AAS, PlumX scores and citation count
between original articles/research articles and meta-analysis/systematic review as their reading potential is different.
Results: We have found a significant positive correlation between citation count, AAS and PlumX Metrics. This association continued
after controlling the journal impact factor. In linear regression analysis, type of publication, total count of tweets, and Mendeley
reads predicted the citation count.
Conclusion: In addition to the classical methods measuring the quality of the articles such as the total citation count and impact
factor, the importance of AAS and PlumX Metrics has been increasing. It is important to share scientific publications on these platforms
in order to increase the impact of the articles.
