Dear all,
I blogged a thing on the Altmetric Top 100 2018. The Altmetric Top 100 is an annual list of the research that has received most attention online on the platforms / services that Altmetric monitors each year. Altmetric has released an annual Top 100 list since 2013.
Back in the early days of altmetrics some of us thought they could contribute to increasing the visibility of research outputs from the Global South. I suppose in a way they have, highlighting how few are actually recorded, perhaps in part due to the different publishing infrastructures (e.g. lack of permanent identifiers in some cases), language, etc.
This new data reveals again the dominance of the Global North and of non-humanities research.
Text and figures in my post:

As usual my posts are always-already works in progress, so typos and inconsistencies, even errors may have remained, but I have shared the source data so it can all be checked if you so wish.
All the best,
Ernesto
