The Plum Print is a visualization of the altmetrics gathered for each research artifact. It visually changes depending upon the number of metrics in each of the five metric categories:
  1. Usage – The most sought after metric after citations
  2. Captures – A leading indicator of citations
  3. Mentions – Where people are truly engaging
  4. Social Media – Tracks the promotion and buzz of research
  5. Citations – When one document cites another
