How many Mendeley Readers do your publications have ?


Mendeley Readers | Metrics Toolkit

"As Mendeley readership counts seems to be the most closely related to citation counts in comparison to other altmetrics, this paper proposes the hmen index as a variant of the citation-based h index which takes into account Mendeley readership counts...In order to find out about the reliability of the hmen index as an indicator to assess scholarly impact, a correlation analysis between the indices has been conducted. Furthermore, the index values were divided by the scientific ages of the authors in order to obtain time-oriented h and hmen values which make a comparison of authors with different scientific ages possible. The hmen index was found to have very strong positive and highly significant correlations of around 0.95 with each of the h indices"  https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-018-2882-8
