Updated: Altmetrics in CINAHL and Discover: Plum Print
Both the CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature) database and the Discover Tool now have a great feature which measures altmetric scholarly impact.

- faculty will have the ability to collect impact content on articles they have authored that are available in CINAHL and Discover.
