We recently updated the types of artifacts that we support to better reflect the diversity of research documents that our customers want to track. Giving customers flexibility in how they manage their research output collection is a hallmark of PlumX, and is critical to being able to do an accurate assessment. For example, newsletters could have far different metrics profiles than blog posts, so being able to classify them into their own artifact groups ensures a true apples-to-apples comparison between the artifacts within each one.

The new artifact types are:

• Blog post
• Bibliography
• Abstract
• Review
• Reference
• Web Resource
• Newsletter

You can see a complete list of all PlumX artifact types on the here.
