Plum Analytics

Plum Analytics is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based altmetrics company dedicated to measuring the influence of scientific research.

History

It was founded in 2011 by Andrea Michalek, who is its current president, and Mike Buschman. It was acquired by Elsevier in February 2017, which purchased it from EBSCO Information Services for an undisclosed amount.[1][2] Its metrics were immediately incorporated into Elsevier's existing products, including Mendeley and Scopus.[3][4]
