Scientists do more than write

papers….

Measuring Impact?

Page 11: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics

Objective Quantitative Measures

• Journal Citation Counts - Number of times an article is cited in other articles

• Journal Impact Factor - number of times all articles in a journal are cited in other journals

Page 12: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics
Page 13: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics

“It took approximately a generation for

bibliographic citation analysis to achieve

acceptability as a measure of academic impact."

Traces on the web

Web Resources• Google• ResearchGate• Mendeley• LinkedIn• Acadaemia.edu• Orcid• Altmetrics.com• Pure (CRIS)• Edinburgh Research Explorer

• How to measure academic impact?

• New Filters? • What kind of impact?• Level of aggregation?• Analysis by going for

scale?

Page 17: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics

altmetrics is the creation and study of new metrics based on

the Social Web for analyzing, and informing

scholarship

Page 18: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics

Altmetrics tries to Measure

Viewed - HTML views & downloads

Discussed - journal comments, science blogs, Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook & other social media

Saved - Mendeley, CiteULike and other social bookmarks

Cited - citations in the scholarly literature, tracked by Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef & others

Recommended - resources

Altmetrics = > Articles• Traditional articles & books• Objects in papers, figures, graphs, pictures• Software Tools• Datasets• Molecular structures, art• Algorithms• Slideshows - SlideShare• Grants, Patents• Mentions popular media, blogs & Social media

Page 20: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics

Who Does It?• Plum Analytics • Impact Story• PLOS• Altmetric.com - Service provider

with API for publishers, bibliographic websites, offer bookmarklet.

Benefits• Reader - new interesting current works & people

• Authors - recognition besides articles

• Publishers - measure “success” of publication, new authors, topics, more information for citation page

• Grantors & Universities - additional metrics to use for grants, hiring and promotion, but not yet!

• Bibliographic Databases - Another information element to display with the citation

Page 25: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics

Problems• Missing materials

• Buzz can be manipulated - will it become part of the PhD Curriculum?

• Academics don’t use Social Media like the Public - unbalanced

• Over reliance• Rank employees• How would Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity score

altmetricaly if it was published today?

Page 26: Introduction to bilbliometrics and altmetrics

Altmetric Future• Combining different types of measures may lead to more

accuracy

• More sources, better algorithms

• Might influence scientists to use more social media

• Altmetrics deployed inside institution to identify what buzz is

• Funding
