Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Most publishers (with the exception of PLoS, see above), rely on aggregators to provide article level data. PLoS collects its own article level metrics (rather than purchasing them from an aggregator).
  2. Not all aggregators (or publishers) use the same data points or sources which allows them to compliment one another when used simultaneously but also has the potential for creating inconsistencies. "For example, PLOS, ImpactStory, Altmetric, and PlumAnalytics collect article-level metrics for some of the same data sources. But are the numbers they present to users consistent for the same paper or are they different due to different collection dates, data sources, or methods of collection? Each of the aggregate article-level metrics providers may collect and present article-level metrics as relevant for their target audience. Thus, as article-level metrics consumers and researchers, we need to have a clear understanding of the potential pitfalls when using article-level metrics data" (Chamberlain, 2013, p. 7). Some of these are free, some are paid.
  3. Almetrics.com (not to be confused with Altmetric.org) where you can download a free API that will (in theory) provide you with an altmetric score for any article you find on the web.
  4. New insights: "The new metrics offer the possibility to discover new insights into impact that have been previously impossible to obtain” (Galligan & Dyas-Correia, 2013, p. 56) Open data: The difference between altmetrics and traditional metrics is that altmetrics "use mostly publically available data, making the process and calculations completely transparent" where as traditional metrics like the journal impact factor is made available only by subscription (from Thomson Reuters) and calculated using a less transparent algorithm (even though the equation has been published many times). Other traditional metrics are generally made available only to those libraries that subscribed to particular data sources and are, now, regulated by industry standards (Project Counter). Speed: nearly real-time metrics of scholarly impact; according to a study Jason Priem presented at ASIST in 2010, 15% of Twitter citations occurred on the same day an article was published, 39% in the same week, and 56% in the same month. Diversity: more than just citations, altmetrics include discussion by the media, mentions in the news, discussion by the public as well as importance to colleagues. (Galligan & Dyas-Correia, 2013, p. 56) (Chamberlain, 2013)
