The “Impact Factor“

Based on 172,000 research papers tracked:PLoS ONE at no. 5

Editor of PLoS ONE:

Real-time impact & actual usage instead of

citations

Mendeley can provide usage-based impact factors of research papers:Audience/reach of research papers

Reading time and repeat readings per paper

Quality ratings, “post-publication peer review”

All of this in real-time, available by academic discipline, geographic region, academic status...
