Personalized Impact
New forms of discovery
• Mendeley Suggest
– personalized recommendations based on reading history
• related articles
– relatedness based on document similarity
• third-party platforms
– PubChase, ScienceScape, myScienceWork, Docphin
Secondary literature
Off-line
• Correspondence to journals
• peer review
Online
• peer review
• comments at publishers website (PLOS, PeerJ)
• third-party platforms
– Pubmed Commons, Publons, Stack Exchange, Quora, blog posts
