Obtaining papers metrics

We are implementing the metrics in our system. We wanted to know more Plugins you make available for metrics of access, citation and sharing of papers and ebooks.

We wanted Plugins that use the DOI of the articles.

We can’t use PlumX, we wanted others besides them.

Hi @filipe,

You can take a look at available plugins by logging into our test drive instance here: https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ojs_demo/ - if you go to settings - website - plugin gallery - you can see a list of available plugins there for OJS. You could do the same for OMP (for ebooks): https://pkp.sfu.ca/omp/omp_demo/

Although, there would be some crossover between the two platforms.

There is also the in-application statitics capabilities for OJS that you may wish to consult: Learning Open Journal Systems 3.3 - Statistics

There are efforts underway to work with Crossref Event data (tied to DOIs), however, this has not been fully developed by PKP. This post gives a little bit of an overview, but is somewhat dated: Citation Rate in OJS 3 - #6 by ajnyga - and I’m not sure that the paperbuzz plugin is being actively developed.

There may be other applications that I may have missed, so other users may wish to weigh in.

Best regards,

What is the difference between OJS and OMP platforms?

We currently use OJS for ebooks as well.

Hi @filipe,

You can compare each of the platforms by looking at their about pages here: https://pkp.sfu.ca/omp/ (OMP) and here: https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ (OJS), but effectively, OMP has features and workflows that are geared towards monographs presses (i.e. ebooks) and OJS is geared more towards journals. There are many common features shared between the two platforms, especially in how they look, since they share a common code base, but the differences are found in how they handle various workflows for their specific use cases - journals and monographs.
