Formally definedO “Altmetrics are new
measurements for the impact of scholarly content based on how far and wide it travels through the social web (like Twitter), social bookmarking (CiteULike) and collaboration tools (Mendeley)…”
Galagan, F 2012

AnotherO “the creation and study of new
metrics based on the social web for analysing and informing scholarship….allowing scholars to create a more complete picture of how their work is being assessed and used from the moment of publication - and sometimes years before traditional metrics would show any impact”
Corbett in Rathermacher, 2014

CitationsTraditionally, the most common metric for evaluating research impact is the number of times a research article is cited by other articles. This metric is sometimes represented by the raw count of citations received by the specific article in question.
![Page 8: Altmetrics Sara Mitha and Avenal Finlayson. Altmetrics is … O Hot topic O Big buzz word O Trending](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b427f8b9ab0599a1cf7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The number of citations received by the journal that published the article is summarised using a formula called the journal impact factor.
Publishing and citation behaviour differs between disciplines

How data is collected
O Identifiers - ORCID, DOI, PubMed, Handles and URLs
O text-mining analyses the content of news articles as news is not so reliant on links
O links to research outputs seldom appear in the metadata for sound and video. Tools used for altmetrics lack capability to analyse audio and video content.

O Gamed / artifically increased by SpamO Altmetrics need to be placed in context in
order to make sense O Multiple versions of articles with different
URLs and identifiers eg. Pubmed version of article (PUBMD ID) and at publisher’s website (DOI) can dilute the altmetrics for the item
O Bias

Altmetrics for institutions
O Add value to the library resources and institutional repositories.
O Can enhance content of the IR and persuade researchers to submit to the IR
O Track article level metrics for institutional research outputs, at faculty or departmental level showing a richer picture of their online research impact.

Important pointsO Open Access - Accurate altmetrics rely on
the almetric tools being able to access the data
O Altmetrics must supplement rather than replace traditional evaluation
