[IRTalk] The future of altmetrics – Altmetric

[Hilton Gibson]

ScienceOpen and Altmetric are pleased to co-host a webinar entitled “The
future of altmetrics”.

Altmetrics are non-traditional metrics that can be used as alternative
measures of scholarly impact. As an article-level metric, they contain
information about how research is shared and re-used in a digital
environment, such as mentions in tweets, blogs, or Wikipedia pages. They
are becoming increasingly important for researchers as they offer a much
richer understanding of how their research is being used by broader
communities.
