rAltmetric

This package provides a way to programmatically retrieve altmetrics from various publication types (books, newsletters, articles, peer-reviewed papers and more) from altmetric.com. The package is really simple to use and only has two major functions:

  • altmetrics - Pass it a doi, isbn, uri, arxiv id or other to get metrics
  • altmetric_data Pass it the results from the previous call to get a tidy data.frame
