Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) and PlumX Metrics are becoming important to evaluate the impact of the publication in addition to classical scientific rating method such as citation count and impact factor. These metrics collect data about publications' tweet count, Facebook interaction count and other social interactions. In this study, it is aimed to examine the association between AAS, PlumX Metrics and citation count of top child and adolescent psychiatry.
We identified the five journals and retrospectively analysed the publications published in 2019. All the original research articles, met analysis, and reviews were analysed. The articles were divided into two groups as original articles/research articles and meta-analysis/systematic review. We have hypothesized that there could be a positive correlation between AAS and PlumX Metrics data and citation count among these journals and there could be a difference between AAS, PlumX scores and citation count between original articles/research articles and meta-analysis/systematic review as their reading potential is different.
We have found a significant positive correlation between citation count, AAS and PlumX Metrics. This association continued after controlling the journal impact factor. In linear regression analysis, type of publication, total count of tweets, and Mendeley reads predicted the citation count.
In addition to the classical methods measuring the quality of the articles such as the total citation count and impact factor, the importance of AAS and PlumX Metrics has been increasing. It is important to share scientific publications on these platforms in order to increase the impact of the articles.
除了经典的科学评价方法（如引文计数和影响因子）外，Altmetric Attention Score（AAS）和 PlumX Metrics 等指标也越来越重要，用于评估出版物的影响力。这些指标收集了出版物的推文计数、Facebook 互动计数和其他社交互动数据。在本研究中，旨在探讨 AAS、PlumX Metrics 与顶级儿童和青少年精神病学的引文计数之间的相关性。
我们确定了五本期刊，并回顾性地分析了 2019 年发表的出版物。分析了所有的原始研究文章、荟萃分析和综述。将文章分为原始文章/研究文章和荟萃分析/系统综述两组。我们假设这些期刊的 AAS 和 PlumX 指标数据与引文计数之间可能存在正相关，并且原始文章/研究文章和荟萃分析/系统综述之间的 AAS、PlumX 评分和引文计数可能存在差异，因为它们的阅读潜力不同。
我们发现引文计数、AAS 和 PlumX 指标之间存在显著的正相关。在控制期刊影响因子后，这种相关性仍然存在。在线性回归分析中，出版物类型、推文总数和 Mendeley 阅读量预测了引文计数。
除了衡量文章质量的经典方法（如总引文计数和影响因子）外，AAS 和 PlumX Metrics 的重要性也在不断增加。在这些平台上分享科学出版物对于增加文章的影响力非常重要。
