Altmetrics: Building a Broader Picture of Impact
- 1. Altmetrics: building a broader picture of impact Paul Groth @pgroth Web & Media Group Department of Computer Science The Network Institute VU University Amsterdam http://www.few.vu.nl/~pgroth #APE2014
- 3. Research Project Grants Applications, awards, and success rates NIH Data Book – (http://report.nih.gov/ndb/index.aspx) Data provided by the Division of Information Services, Reporting Branch
- 4. "Outside letters basically trump everything," says Robert Simoni, chairman of the biology department at Stanford University in California. Metrics: Do metrics matter? Nature 2010 http://doi.org/10.1038/465860a
- 6. ―Imagine how the academic appointment process might change if search and review committees had access—within an appropriately tagged or linked online CV, for example, or via the ORCID system— to information about the specific contributions made by a candidate to each of his/her works, including contributions that might not otherwise have qualified for ‗authorship‘ status?‖ Point of view: Faculty appointments and the record of scholarship Amy Brand http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00452
- 7. Point of view: Faculty appointments and the record of scholarship Amy Brand http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00452 Opportunities • Individuals and institutions need better tools for curating and networking their own record of scholarship • Institutions need more information about scholarly contribution • ALMs that reliably differentiate sources of input (general; academic; expert; etc.) would be more useful‖ Slide 3: http://article-level-metrics.plos.org/files/2013/10/Brand.pptx
- 9. Altmetrics is the study and use of scholarly impact measures based on activity in online tools and environments. http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0048753
- 14. ALTMETRICS AS MEASURES OF IMPACT?
- 15. ―It took approximately a generation (20 years) for bibliographic citation analysis to achieve acceptability as a measure of academic impact." (Vaughan and Shaw, 2003)

- 19. Bottom Line: use altmetrics as evidence in a larger story
- 20. Examples
- 23. Published AND discussed AND cited 23
- 24. 24
- 28. Summary: a broader view • Different research artifacts – papers, preprints, slides, videos, code, data • Different measures – usage, mentions, views, sharing • Different stories – progress so far, workshop impact, outreach
- 29. Conclusion • Altmetrics is still developing – But useful today • Allows to build a broader picture of impact – Using a variety of Artifacts & Measures • Final thought: research artifacts exist in a network, we‘re starting to connect it

Editor's Notes
- This is a pain to calculate!
- We believe metrics are it but policy makers don’t necessarily. What they want is evidence.
- There’s more and more “stuff” – where are we

- This will happen closer than 20 years
- Clear correlation between F1000 recommendations and citations
- Side note: From the slides:“There is no reason to condemn the incorrectly used Impact Factor and h-index. They can provide supplementary information if they are used in combination with qualitative methods, and are not used as the only decision criterion. Example:• Good practice (h-index as supporting argument): “The exceptionally high h-index of the applicant confirms his/her international standing aested to by our experts.” • Qestionable use (h-index as decision criterion):“We are inclined to support this scientist because his/her h-index distinctly exceeds that of all other applicants.”
