Abstract Purpose To assess the online attention to research in the field of paediatric dentistry in relation to publication details and citations. Methods The articles were identified by a search performed through the Dimensions Free App. The search included the six journals related to paediatric dentistry listed in the SCImago Journal and Country Rank. The 200 articles with the highest AAS (Altmetric Attention Score) were collected and screened for data related to publication, authorship, and research topic. Citations were harvested from WOS (Web of Science) and Scopus. Results The 86.3% of the 200 articles belonged to only two of the journals: the International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry and the European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry. The 53.5% of the articles were published between 2014 and 2019. The mean AAS was 8.3. Cross-sectional studies were the most prevalent study design. AAS did not correlate to the number of citations as reported in WOS and Scopus. Conclusions Online attention to research in paediatric dentistry can be improved. According to the topic, erosion studies displayed high visibility. The classic citation count in combination with the AAS offers a more comprehensive insight iinto research. The online profile of journals and their social media dissemination policies should be improved to facilitate the spread of research information in scholar and non-scholar audiences through the web.

Since the establishment of the first journal metric in 1965, the journal Impact Factor (IF), citation metrics have been widely used as a surrogate indicator of the scientific impact of papers and journals in its scientific field (Barbic et al. 2016). With the advent of computerised citation indexing, a massive amount of citations can be quickly monitored, analysed and studied. Citations are at present one of the main indicators used to assess the contribution and the
