Altmetrics, another view on impact
Wouter Gerritsma, April 2014
Altmetrics?
New suit of metrics introduced by Priem et al. 2010 http://altmetrics.org/manifesto/
●A better filter and an alternative to citations and peer review
Other terms:
●Article level metrics
●Influmetrics
●Social media metrics
●Alternative metrics
Article level metrics?
Altmetrics promises
A proxy for scientific impact
●More timely than citations
Broader impact than measured by citations only
●Societal impact
Impact of more varied outputs
●Capturing impacts of other publication types
●Measuring other scientific outputs (data sets, ELN, code)
●Measuring other forms of influence (press, blogs, twitter etc.)
Citations are only a tiny fraction of article usage
