#NephJC is now part of Altmetrics
Altmetrics is a company that tracks realtime references, reads and mentions of research articles across the web and social media. They give authors and institutions a sense of what research is moving the needle faster and more comprehensively than reference tracking could.

Our spotlight just got a little brighter.

The amyloidosis nerds did a nice summary at Amyloid Planet.
Hope you can join us for a spirited discussion.
