Explanation about the need for altmetrics, and possibilities for new development and current products.

Mendeley is a web-based reference management software that also provides metrics to individuals and institutions.

"ImpactStory aggregates altmetrics: diverse impacts from your articles, datasets, blog posts, and more."

"Traditionally, the impact of research articles has been measured by the publication journal. But a more informative view is one that examines the overall performance and reach of the articles themselves. Article-Level Metrics are a comprehensive set of impact indicators that enable numerous ways to assess and navigate research most relevant to the field itself"

ACM conference on altmetrics.

"Using our embeddable badges you can be up and running with article level metrics on your site in minutes, not months, delivering real value to your authors and readers.

Use the Altmetric API or bulk downloads for more complex applications like supplementing a search index."

"ScienceCard is a web service that collects Article-Level Metrics for scientific articles. Everyone can register via his/her Twitter account and can then add articles from PubMed via the DOI or PubMed ID. Registered users can also link their account to their Open Researcher & Contributor ID (ORCID) account, the articles listed in the ORCID profile will then be automatically imported into their ScienceCard profile.

ScienceCard uses freely available sources for the Article-Level Metrics."

"Dryad is a nonprofit organization and an international repository of data underlying scientific and medical publications.

The scientific, educational, and charitable mission of Dryad is to promote the availability of data underlying findings in the scientific literature for research and educational reuse.

The vision of Dryad is a scholarly communication system in which learned societies, publishers, institutions of research and education, funding bodies and other stakeholders collaboratively sustain and promote the preservation and reuse of data underlying the scholarly literature.

As of Mar 8, 2013, Dryad contains 2836 data packages and 7992 data files, associated with articles in 200 journals."

"figshare allows researchers to publish all of their research outputs in seconds in an easily citable, sharable and discoverable manner. All file formats can be published, including videos and datasets that are often demoted to the supplemental materials section in current publishing models. By opening up the peer review process, researchers can easily publish null results, avoiding the file drawer effect and helping to make scientific research more efficient. figshare uses creative commons licensing to allow frictionless sharing of research data whilst allowing users to maintain their ownership."

Repository for open source code and projects.

"Therefore, we’ve got together with a group of BioMed Central authors and editors, and the GitHub:Training team to document collaboratively, define and share good practices of how they are using GitHub for science. Until now the GitHub:Training team have had little direct experience of scientists’ uses of their services, and scientists have had little opportunity to share their optimal use cases directly with the GitHub team."
