Article metrics

Article metrics are numerical indicators used to evaluate the impact and reach of a scientific paper or publication. They include measures like citation counts (how often other researchers cite the work), altmetrics (social media mentions, news coverage), and influence scores. These metrics help gauge how widely an article is read, discussed, and referenced in the academic community and beyond. They are useful for authors, institutions, and publishers to assess the significance and influence of research, guiding funding, collaborations, and dissemination strategies.
