Article level metrics present different ways to look at the scientific community’s reaction to a publication, and could help:
• filter research for relevance, impact & quality
• give an alternative to the Impact Factor in assessing the impact of research
• understand of how research findings are disseminated and discovered
• research into the relationship of new article level metrics with more traditional measures, i.e. citations
How could they be useful?

Diversity of Citations Metrics
What is the impact of an article?
When assessing the impact of a published research article, it might seem logical to look at the Impact Factor of the journal that you find it in. But as journals and scholars have moved online, and citation indexing has been automated, the wealth of information for citation discovery and analysis has vastly increased.
Citation counts can tell a more accurate story about the scholarly impact that an individual article has made than the journal Impact Factor. But where should you look for these counts? There are a number of indexing services tracking and providing information about citations, each with advantages and disadvantages, spanning from bias to discipline-dependence, and limitations of the citation data source.
