Springer digitizes Book Archives and adds Altmetric to Springer Link

Springer has entered the New Year with two major projects accomplished. It completed its four year long project of digitizing every book published from 1840 to 2004 covering 110,000 titles.

Springer has also added a new feature to its SpringerLink (link.springer.com) by including altmetric information to every article available on the platform.  The data collected from this feature will track and analyze online activity around access of the articles to measure impact of research.
