“Dear PLOS Author,

 

We are pleased to inform you that your article, dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000204 , is in the top 1% of Article-Level Metrics (ALMs) for all PLOS articles. PLOS ALMs are a comprehensive set of metrics that track the reach and impact of published research.

 

In addition to recognizing this great accomplishment, we would like to take the opportunity to get your feedback on PLOS ALMs. Please fill out a brief online questionnaire at your convenience before August 14th.

 

To show our appreciation for your completion of this survey, we will send you a PLOS T-shirt in the size of your choice. This short survey of six questions will help us better serve you and the broader research community.

 

With ALMs, you can stay up-to-date with your research – not just projects in progress, but published work, as well. Just as ongoing projects continue to evolve, so do the impact of your publications. Track these developments with ALMs and share your real-time status with funders, institutions, collaborators, etc. On the PLOS site, your latest ALMs can always be found on the Metrics tab at the article page.

 

Again, kudos to you for generating exceptional ALMs on your article. We encourage you to share your ALMs in your research community. For suggestions on how to do so, or to learn more about PLOS ALMs, please visit us at our website, or follow us on Twitter. We also welcome you to contact us with ALM questions or suggestions at any time.

 

P.S. If you are not the author, or there are additional contributing authors, on the above-referenced PLOS article, please kindly forward this email to them.

 

Best regards,

PLOS ALM Team”

 

======================

The moral of this story is, gaming social media can win you t-shirts but not necessarily citations!

“Seriously. Where WOULD Jesus publish? Nature, Science or other elitest journals? No - clearly he'd publish on PLOS ONE.” -- The Gospel according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Eisen
