Altmetrics in
practice: our
experience
Euan Adie, altmetric.com
SciELO 15, 24 October 2013
Several different tools
available
What are “altmetrics”?
o “alternative metrics”
o new ways of measuring different, non-traditional
forms of impact, potentially of non-traditional
outputs.

o “alternative to only using citations”, not
“alternative to citations”.
o complementary to traditional citation-based
analysis.
Every researcher is a communicator
Within academia
Presentations and seminars
Funding and ethics applications
Academic books
Journal articles and posters
Term papers and essays
Meetings and conferences
Correspondence

Within society
Speaking at public events
Books for general audiences
Press
Social media
Blogs
Policy documents

We should measure both
New perspectives of impact

SOCIETAL IMPACT

ACADEMIC IMPACT

Journal Impact Factor
Citation counts

Traditional metrics

+

Download counts
Page views
Mentions in news reports
Mentions in social media
Mentions in blogs
Reference manager readers
… etc.
Alternative metrics
“altmetrics”
One available tool.
We are used a lot by
publishers, now some
institutions too.
We serve 2.5 million
requests a day.
Altmetrics in practice: our experience
Where are the readers?

Who are the readers?
What’s interesting about this
kind of data?
Altmetrics tools are at version 0.1
Altmetrics tools don’t (yet)
provide good metrics for
impact
BUT
They can help you find
evidence of impact, successes
Evidence of public outreach?
An article on the ecological
impacts of the Fukushima
nuclear accident.
• > 1,859 twitter accounts
shared, combined follower
count of 2.5M.
• 68% of tweets sent from
Japan.
Figure 1

• 77% of tweets from members
of the public.

2012, Scientific Reports 2, 570
A different example, from the USP
Altmetrics in practice: our experience
Altmetrics in practice: our experience
Evidence research has reached patients?
Quantifying attention

Altmetric
score
Note that we can measure
attention, but…
Positive?
Negative?
For scientific reasons?
Or because the title is funny?
Is 364 good or bad anyway?
Context is
everything
In general, altmetrics numbers…

X

Don’t represent the quality of
research.

X

Don’t indicate the quality of
individual researchers.

X

Don’t tell the whole story –
always look for qualitative
data as well
Why score at all? To allow ranking
What should we be measuring
beyond attention?
Question for the academic
community.
Problems
Problems

• 30 – 40% of recent biomedical
papers will have Altmetric
attention. But < 10% in social
sciences.
Problems

• 30 – 40% of recent biomedical
papers will have Altmetric
attention. But < 10% in social
sciences.
• Tools have subtle bias: data
sources are mainly those popular
in US, Europe

Editor's Notes

  1. Focus has been shifting to metrics at the article level. Why should the value of a work be judged the journal it has been published in?
  2. A London-based tech start-up founded in 2011.Small team of 5 operates out of King’s Cross, London.
  3. We only count 1 mention from each person per source, so if you tweet about the same paper more than once, we will ignore everything but the first.A newspaper article contributes more to the score than a blog post, which contributes more than a tweet.at whether or not there&apos;s any bias towards a particular journal or publisher and at who the audience is.e.g., A doctor sharing a link with other doctors counts for far more than a journal account pushing the same link out automatically.
  4. e.g., A doctor sharing a link with other doctors counts for far more than a journal account pushing the same link out automatically.
