The APS Altmetrics Award will be awarded annually for a paper published either in the Australian Journal of Psychology, Australian Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist or Educational and Developmental Psychologist. This Award rewards the paper with the highest Altmetric Attention Score.
What are Altmetrics?
Altmetrics complement traditional, citation-based metrics by measuring how widely discussed a journal article is around the globe. Altmetrics recognise other indicators of your paper’s success; the attention, influence, and impact.
