ImpactStory is an open source tool from a non-profit company which makes its code freely available. ImpactStory draws on both social and scholarly sources and normalizes metrics and scores based on comparison to other publications from the same year. Each author can ONLY access his or her own information. 

ImpactStory provides an overview page which summarizes the author's impact, and then offers more detail in additional tabs on specific sources such as Wikipedia, Twitter, global reach, greatest hits and and analysis of the reading level. 

Even though access is available only to the author, screenshots of these pages would provide valuable information in a CV or resume on the impact of the author's research.
