The Altmetric Bookmarklet provides individual researchers with a quick and easy way to discover the online attention and impact of their published papers. By installing this free browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, users can view the Altmetric details for an article, including its shares and mentions across various online sources, with just a single click. This tool is designed to simplify the process of accessing altmetrics, allowing researchers to gain insights into their work's broader engagement beyond traditional citations. To use the bookmarklet, users must register with an email address associated with an academic institution or organization, as free-to-subscribe email addresses are not permitted. It is important to note that the bookmarklet specifically functions on PubMed, arXiv, or any web pages containing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) with Google Scholar-friendly citation metadata. Additionally, Twitter mentions are only available for articles published since July 2011. Publishers are advised against using this bookmarklet, as Altmetric offers more suitable tools for their specific needs.
