I'm so glad that preprints exist. Knowing your work is being read really takes the sting out of the painful publication process. Out of curiosity, do you have access to the download stats on Arxiv?

I think arxiv is against that for various reasons: https://arxiv.org/help/faq/statfaq …

Although I do put the scores on my website [see: http://oliviaguest.com/#pub ] — I dunno. Take them with a pinch of salt since they go up and down & do not track reference managers outside Mendeley (which is not open source and owned by Elsevier; so you can image ppl might avoid it).

Does anybody know of any studies which look into which aspect of Altmetric score (my guess is how many people add it to their Mendeley bibliography library) are most predictive of the impact of a paper on a given field (e.g., citations)?

Mendeley does not contribute to the score

OK, let me phrase it differently then: replace "score" with "things Altmetric tracks".

It is just interesting that Altmetric score does not include all metrics they track and weights them differently :)

It is! Thanks for pointing that out.
