Subject: Metrics on your MMWR report, “National Progress Toward Hepatitis C Elimination — Georgia, 2015–2016”
Dear Dr. Nasrullah,
We were pleased to publish your MMWR report, “National Progress Toward Hepatitis C Elimination — Georgia, 2015–2016” on October 21, 2016.
Thanks to resources provided by the Stephen B. Thacker CDC Library,
MMWR is now offering Altmetric scores, which will help you assess the impact of
your report beyond citations in the literature.*
As of November 4, your report’s score is 33. Any score
>19 is in the top 5% of all publications that are tracked by Altmetric. To see who was talking about your work and what this score represents, go to the
MMWR webpage and click on the donut-shaped icon to the right of your
report.
Once there, click on the details page. You will see the collated record of the attention your report received. You can delve deeper into each tab and see the specific stories about your report in mainstream media and the dialogue about
your report in social media. Additional information and training about Altmetric is available through the
library.
Please share this information about your report’s Altmetric score with your co-authors and others in your program.
If you have suggestions about how we can improve our services, I’d like to hear from you at
skr9@cdc.gov.
Best regards,
Sonja

*Altmetric is a tool that is used by several journals, including
JAMA. Altmetric pulls in data from social media sources such as Facebook and Twitter, from traditional mainstream and science-specific media, and from online reference managers such as Mendeley. It allows authors almost immediately to see how their work
is being read and used, including exactly what is being said about it, months and years before it is formally cited.
