Altmetrics Gail McMillan, Director CDRS Services

What is altmetrics? Alternative metrics Another way to measure Another way from what? – Citation analysis – Article level metrics: ALM

Measure what? Beyond traditional peer-reviewed journal articles – Impact factor: reflects the number of times an article is cited – Journal impact factors Software, data sets, blogs Traditional communication is increasingly online Digital media increases the visibility of scholarship – An open access online article that gets tweeted about may also lead to a highly cited article Leverage technologies to extend the reach and impact of scholarship

Scholarly activity is more than peer-reviewed articles Conference presentations—visibility Social media (blogs, tweets, etc.)—reputation The internet is now a source as well as a destination of research and researchers, especially for disciplines with popular appeal. Altmetrics: The creation and study of new measures based on the social web for analyzing and informing scholarship.

Why should you care? You can have an impact. More democratic means of influence. Takes advantage of today’s faster communication. Scholars interact with a wider audience. They reach beyond a journal’s readers and beyond the ivory tower of academia.

Sources of Altmetrics 6 Usage – HTML views, PDF downloads (e.g., journal, PubMed Central, FigShare, Dryad, etc.) Captures – CiteULike bookmarks, Mendeley readers/groups, Delicio.us Mentions – Blog posts, news stories, Wikipedia articles, comments, reviews Social Media – Tweets, Google+, Facebook likes, shares, ratings Citations – Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Pubmed Central, Microsoft Academic Search

Some altmetrics tools Open Source – ImpactStory – CitedIn – PLOS ALM and ScienceCard Not Open Source – Altmetric.com (Macmillan Co.) – PlumAnalytics (Pitt)

So what should we do? Collect and track altmetrics. Ask publishers to provide open access to their altmetrics. Participate in social media to impact topics you care about.
