This diagram, titled "The metrics ecosystem," illustrates the different ways scholarly impact is measured. The six categories are: Author-level: Measures impact based on a researcher's Publications, Citations, and the Journals they publish in. Journal-level: Measures the "Impact," Citations, and Reputation of the publication itself. Article-level: Measures the impact of a single paper through Citations, Bookmarks, Social media mentions, and Views & downloads. Alt-metrics: Measures broader "Attention" and social engagement for All outputs, often tracked by the Altmetric "donut." Data, code, & software: Measures the use of non-publication outputs through Citations, Dataset downloads, and GitHub forks.
