To the Editor: The use of social media to both disseminate and identify new research is increasing, ultimately influencing reach and therefore requiring alternative metrics, or altmetrics, to redefine impact.1 These tools, including Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) and PlumX Metrics, may be used to assess “trending” articles, which are those that are most interesting to and shared by the general public. These computed weighted scores account for the number of posts, retweets, and likes from social media platforms such as news, blogs, Twitter, and Facebook.
