Altmetric measure the online attention of published research articles which provides each article with an Altmetric Attention Score (AAS). Each week we receive an email from Altmetric informing us of the five most-discussed ornithology articles of the last week. IBIS usually does well thanks to our own promotion of our published papers, but also thanks to authors and readers discussing them on social media and writing blogs about them.
