The “Impact Factor“
Based on 172,000 research papers tracked:PLoS ONE at no. 5
Editor of PLoS ONE:
Real-time impact & actual usage instead of
citations
Mendeley can provide usage-based impact factors of research papers:Audience/reach of research papers
Reading time and repeat readings per paper
Quality ratings, “post-publication peer review”
All of this in real-time, available by academic discipline, geographic region, academic status...
