How can researchers gauge a paper’s impact?

What information is available within the paper stats on my public abstract and author pages?
Paper Statistics are captured on every Abstract Page. Metrics include usage data (article views and downloads) and other article-level metrics.

PlumX Metrics is Plum Analytics’ comprehensive, item-level metrics that provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like. PlumX Metrics are available on SSRN Abstract Pages. Learn more about PlumX Metrics sourcesopens in new tab/window.

There is missing data in the PlumX Metrics on my Abstract Page. How do I get the metrics updated and/or corrected?
