Traditional measures of impact

• Proxy for expert evaluation

• Typically citation-based

• Levels of evidence• Journal-level

• Article-level

• Scholar-level

• How can you use these in your dossier?• What is the value of these metrics?

Altmetric Manifesto

NO ONE CAN READ EVERYTHING. We rely on filters to make sense of the scholarly literature, but the narrow, traditional filters are being swamped. However, the growth of new, online scholarly tools allows us to make new filters; these altmetrics reflect the broad, rapid impact of scholarship in this burgeoning ecosystem. We call for more tools and research based on altmetrics…

March 5, 2015

Altmetrics

• Supplement traditional metrics

• Scope extends beyond the formal published scholarly record (journals & books)

• Timeframe: immediate to short-term impact

• Sources: focus is on social media/engagement

• DOES capture qualitative data (ex: blog snippets, tweet content)

March 5, 2015

Types of scholarly outputs

• Articles

• Books & chapters

• Conference presentations, panels, etc.

• Blogs & blog posts

• Grey literature, conference materials, white papers, unpublished reports

• Learning objects, instructional content, assessment tools, online courses, innovative use of technology, syllabi, etc.

• Impact on diverse populations or communities; impact on the community through media, changes in policy, law, or programs

March 5, 2015

Altmetric Sources

• Publishers (e.g., PLoS, PubMed, etc.)• Aggregation services

– Impact Story: http://impactstory.org/– Altmetric.com: http://www.altmetric.com/– Plum Analytics: https://plu.mx/g/samples

• Subject repositories– PubMedCentral (PMC)– arXiv– SSRN

• Institutional repositories– IUPUI ScholarWorks: http://scholarworks.iupui.edu– IUPUI DataWorks: http://dataworks.iupui.edu

Aggregator Sources

• News media

• Social media platforms

• Blogs

• Twitter

• Reference managers (e.g., Mendeley)

• other online conversations captured include YouTube, Wikipedia, Reddit, F1000, Q&A, Policy Docs

The problem is not a lack of data, but how to evaluate

and make sense of it.

Using Altmetrics

What is your case? What statements do you need to support?

• Identify priorities

• Choose tools/platforms

• Gather

• Select

• Store

• Visualize

March 5, 2015

Gathering Data

• Gather manually– Free

– Time-consuming

– Messy & redundant

– Tailored to your scholarship & argument

– Include unusual or field-specific sources

• Use an aggregator – Minimal cost (individual)

– Less time-consuming

– Generic, broad presentation

– Heavy emphasis on major social media channels

March 5, 2015

Gathering Data: Altmetric.it

• Install Altmetric.it Bookmarklet– http://www.altmetric.com/bookmarklet.php

– Drag the Altmetric.it icon to your browser bookmarks toolbar

• Get altmetrics for your outputs– Go to URL for your article/blog post/column/code/etc

– Click on the Altmetric.it shortcut

– Gather data from the donut in a spreadsheet

• Note: reliant on unique identifiers like DOI, handles, arXiv ID, SSRN ID, PMC ID, etc. but NOT limited to articles

March 5, 2015

Gathering Data: Scopus

• Register for an ORCID (unique author ID)

• Sign up for a Scopus account

• Link your ORCID to your Scopus account

• Maintain an accurate list of articles associated with your profile

• Gather data for each article (track in a spreadsheet)

Using Altmetrics

• Complementary - Portray just part of the picture– More immediate measure of impact

– Measure of impact outside your discipline and academia (public policy, practice, community engagement, public awareness, etc.)

– Reflect engagement with and impact upon a broader audience, beyond academia and your own area of expertise

• Flavors of impact (Priem et al, 2012)– “popular hit” – highly tweeted and shared on non-academic social

media sites

– “expert pick” – good F1000 ratings and subsequent citations, few shares or social media mentions
