The article focuses on the description of the InfluScience project and the results achieved. It outlines the project's objectives, which center on analyzing Spanish scien-tific production from the perspective of altmetrics. The project aims to measure the mediatic, social, educational, and political impact of Spanish publications in Web of Science. Additionally, the methodology of the project is detailed with all the data col-lected, and it provides a description of the InfluScience rankings and their coverage of authors, institutions, publications, etc. The article describes the interface and offers some original results focused on universities and their performance through altmetric indicators and influential researchers. The text is accompanied by complementary publications, access to data, and other platforms such as Alt-Andalus or InfluScience UGR.References
