• A test ALM Email was sent to Authors, in ~ August 2008• at which point PLOS ONE had published ~3,100 articles
• The mailing was merged to all corresponding authors whose articles exceeded certain thresholds for having ALMs to report on
• We provided info which was scraped / obtained from• Google Scholar• Google Analytics• PLOS Commenting functionality• CiteULike• Google News
• Response was 100% positive – giving us reassurance about messaging
Testing the Concept

“This paper is featured in a commentary in the Journal of XXX and has been evaluated as “must read” by XXX for the Faculty of 1000 Biology.”
“Top downloaded paper in XXX in 2011”
“PLoS ONE metrics show that this article had 6,358 online views and 1,318 downloads within 3 months of publication. These compare with annual average life-time views of papers ranging from 400 to 2,800 in all PLoS journals, and 600 in PLoS ONE. In early December 2011, its usage was 10,400 versus an average of 900/paper for the journal. It is the 3rd most highly cited paper amongst the XXX papers in the journal.“
