The analysis revealed that 123 articles had an Altmetric presence, with 28 receiving an Altmetric Attention Score above 10. The study identifies the most cited articles, top countries and journals, and it further evaluates engagement across digital platforms. Notably, China and the USA lead in research output, while journals like the Journal of Comparative Economics and Inzinerine Ekonomika showed high productivity. The findings of the study highlight the increasing significance of altmetrics in capturing the broader societal and scholarly influence of research beyond traditional citations, offering valuable insights into the evolving nature of academic impact in the digital age.
