The increased social media attention to scholarly articles has resulted in efforts to create platforms & services to track and measure the social media transactions around scholarly articles in different social platforms (such as Twitter, Blog, Facebook) and academic social networks (such as Mendeley, Academia and ResearchGate). Altmetric.com and PlumX are two popular aggregators that track social media activity around scholarly articles from a variety of social platforms and provide the coverage and transaction data to researchers for various purposes. However, some previous studies have shown that the social media data captured by the two aggregators have differences in terms of coverage and magnitude of mentions. This paper aims to revisit the question by doing a large-scale analysis of social media mentions of a data sample of 1,785,149 publication records (drawn from multiple disciplines, demographies, publishers). Results obtained show that PlumX tracks more wide sources and more articles as compared to Altmetric.com. However, the coverage and average mentions of the two aggregators vary across different social media platforms, with Altmetric.com recording higher mentions in Twitter and Blog, and PlumX recording higher mentions in Facebook and Mendeley, for the same set of articles. The coverage and average mentions captured by the two aggregators across different document types, disciplines and publishers is also analyzed.

对社交媒体报道和由两个替代度量聚合器 Altmetric.com 和 PlumX 捕获的提及进行大规模比较

社交媒体对学术文章的关注度增加导致努力创建平台和服务来跟踪和衡量围绕不同社交平台(如 Twitter、博客、Facebook)和学术社交网络(如 Mendeley、学术界和研究之门)。Altmetric.com 和 PlumX 是两个流行的聚合器,它们跟踪围绕来自各种社交平台的学术文章的社交媒体活动,并为各种目的向研究人员提供覆盖范围和交易数据。但是,之前的一些研究表明,两个聚合器捕获的社交媒体数据在覆盖范围和提及量方面存在差异。本文旨在通过对 1,785 个数据样本的社交媒体提及进行大规模分析来重新审视这个问题,149 条出版记录(来自多个学科、人口统计学、出版商)。获得的结果表明,与 Altmetric.com 相比,PlumX 跟踪更广泛的来源和更多的文章。然而,对于同一组文章,这两个聚合器的覆盖率和平均提及率在不同的社交媒体平台上有所不同,Altmetric.com 在 Twitter 和博客中的提及率更高,而 PlumX 在 Facebook 和 Mendeley 中的提及率更高。还分析了跨不同文档类型、学科和出版商的两个聚合器捕获的覆盖率和平均提及次数。对于同一组文章,这两个聚合器的覆盖率和平均提及率在不同的社交媒体平台上有所不同,Altmetric.com 在 Twitter 和博客中的提及率更高,而 PlumX 在 Facebook 和 Mendeley 中的提及率更高。还分析了跨不同文档类型、学科和出版商的两个聚合器捕获的覆盖率和平均提及次数。对于同一组文章,这两个聚合器的覆盖率和平均提及率在不同的社交媒体平台上有所不同,Altmetric.com 在 Twitter 和博客中的提及率更高,而 PlumX 在 Facebook 和 Mendeley 中的提及率更高。还分析了跨不同文档类型、学科和出版商的两个聚合器捕获的覆盖率和平均提及次数。
