Description

:clipboard: **Description**

[Altmetrics](https://www.altmetric.com/) - impact tracking of publications, preprints, etc.

Altmetrics badges show the impact of an associated DOI.

:link: **Data**

[Examples and API for embedding](https://api.altmetric.com/embeds.html)

:microphone: **Motivation**

I maintain lists of scientific papers, such as [HiC tools](https://github.com/mdozmorov/HiC_tools). Knowing which paper is more impactful (from Altmetrics badges) will be immensely helpful to prioritize one's time.

Done means Shields provides an Altmetrics badge that represents the impact of a publication, preprint, or other DOI-associated work.
