Abstract

This paper sorts out the research background of altmetrics, sums up its five characteristics, then introduces the indicator system of article-level metrics and some frequently-used altmetrics tools. In order to explore the relationship between altmetric score and citation indicator, it respectively collects the article data and indicator data from PLOS and F1000, detects their correlation, and compares the results of the two experiments. The results show that there is positive correlation between altmetric score and citation indicator, and they have some consistency in evaluating articles.
