Altmetric for Association of Hormonal Contraception

with Depression

Dr.G.Stephen,

Assistant Librarian, NIELIT- Itanagar Centre, Arunachal Pradesh.

Abstract

Altmetrics is the creation and study of new metrics based on the social web for analyzing,

and informing scholarship. Altmetrics measure diverse impact from articles, datasets, blog posts,

side show etc. beyond the citation count from readership, views, downloads, saves and scholarly

or popularly buzz. The purpose of Altmetric for peer review, citations and impact factor. The

work of researchers has shifted to the web where counting download, read the tweets can and

comments on Facebook, Google +, post a video on you tube etc. all these tracks measuring the

impact on the scientific community. This paper described about the article level metrics for

Association of Hormonal Contraception with Depression, published in JAMA Psychiatry. This

article has been mentioned in 193 news outlets, 21 blogs, 96 Facebook pages, 951 tweets,

majority of the mendeley readers (41%) are falling the medicine and dentistry discipline and

Altmetric has tracked 7,615,965 research outputs across all sources so far among this article got

#120 position.

Keywords: Hormonal Contraception, Altmetrics, Twitter, News Outlets, Mendeley Readers,

JAMA Psychiatry.

Introduction

The term Altmetrics has been proposed for the first time in 2010 with a ‘Tweet’ posted

by Jason Priem. The Altmetrics term can also means either ‘Article level Metrics’ both

‘Alternative Metrics’. Altmetrics provide an alternative set of metrics to traditional citation

impact metrics. Altmetrics cover the wider impact, re-use and engagement of a work, and aim to

be more applicable to the rapidly evolving world of scholarly communication. Traditional

citation impact metrics have been shown to be lacking with following developments. Non

Traditional scholarly outputs such as datasets, technical reports, videos, presentations, web pages

etc. The increase on Open Access publications which makes research easier to access. A rise in

mega-journal (PLoS One) which has led to a significant increase in scholarly material being

produced. Altmetrics is to be considered a subset of Webometrics that combines the traditional

Bibliometrics toll with the use of the web. In this context, many web tools are often referred as

‘social media’ due to their role in supporting communication and building communities.

Benefits and Limits of Altmetrics

Benefits Limits

Broad Measure of Impact Subjective measure of online attention

Assist in Grand application Not show nature of use

Show influence on beers Needs openness of data

Gives context to research Reliance on links and /or text-mining

Particularly effective for showing impact of

OA articles

Metrics can be artificially inflated by author

self-promotion, and/or spammers

Help authors/readers understand the

readership of material

Always be ‘dark social’ sharing and pay wall

protected research

Social shares reflect public engagement and

interest in research and societal impact

Different version of same article can appear

in several palaces, diluting the Altmetric

Encourages sharing of negative research

results

Sources of metrics rapidly changing and

developing, what is a significant measure?

Encourage sharing of datasets Not so useful older articles, especially those

published in pre social media.

Immediacy of metrics

Increased dynamisiam around work

Sharing an social media tends not to taper

off as quickly as usage statistics

Assist in benchmarking exercises

Qualitative data

Review of Literature

Stephen (2017) found Altmetric about article of Zika Virus and Birth Defects- Reviewing

the Evidence for Causality. The result output has on Altmetric attention score 3804 on second

February 2017. This article mentioned by 1319 twitters, 330 in new outlets and 144 in Facebook

and also found 560 Mendeley readers of this research output. Majority of the respondents comes

under the unknown category 43% (539) twitters, followed by 25% (336) percentage of the USA

twitters and only one 1% of the twitters from Chile and Columbia. Discipline wise mendeley

readers statistics shows majority of the readers are falling the medicine and dentistry discipline,

followed by Agricultural and biological science 21%, Other type of readers got third position

20%, 7% readers are Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology discipline, 6% readers are

Immunology and Microbiology and Only 5% of the mendeley readers nursing and health

professionals.). An attractive possibility for measuring societal impact is seen in altmetrics (short

for alternative metrics) (Mohammadi & Thelwall, 2014). There are already a number of studies

concerning altmetrics. An overview of these studies can be found in BarIlan, Shema, and

Thelwall (2014), Haustein (2014), and Priem (2014). Many of these studies have measured the

correlation between citations and altmetrics. Since the correlations were often at a moderate

level, the results are difficult to interpret: Both metrics seem to measure something similar but

not identical. The studies published so far cannot yet provide a satisfactory answer to the

question whether altmetrics is appropriate for the measurement of societal impact or not. That is

the reason for this investigation of the question. Altmetrics opens the door to a broader

interpretation of the concept of impact and to more diverse forms of impact analysis” (Waltman

& Costas, 2014. An overview of various altmetrics may be obtained from Priem and Hemminger

(2010).Priem and Costello (2010) define tweets as Twitter citations if they contain a direct or

indirect link to a peer-reviewed scholarly article. These Twitter citations can be counted and

assessed as an alternative metric for papers. “Altmetrics refers to data sources, tools, and metrics

(other than citations) that provide potentially relevant information on the impact of scientific

outputs (e.g., the number of times a publication has been tweeted, shared on Facebook, or read in

Mendeley). Twitter (www.twitter.com), for example, is the best known micro blogging

application. This application allows the user to post short messages (tweets) of up to 140

characters. “These tweets can be categorized, shared, sent directly to other users and linked to

websites or scientific papers … Currently there are more than 200 million active Twitter users

who post over 400 million tweets per day” (Darling, Shiffman, Côté, & Drew, 2013).

Abstract Millions of Women worldwide use hormonal contraception. Despite the

clinical evidence of an influence of hormonal contraception on some

women’s mood, associations between the use of hormonal contraception and

mood disturbances remain inadequately addressed. To investigate whether

the use of hormonal contraception is positively associated with subsequent

use of antidepressants and a diagnosis of depression at a psychiatric hospital.

This nationwide prospective cohert study combined data from the national

Prescription Registrar and Psychiatric Central Research Register in

Denmark. All women and adolescents aged 15 to 34 years who were living

in Denmark were followed up from January 1, 200 to December 2013, if

they had no prior depression diagnosis, redeemed prescription for

antidepressants, other major psychiatric diagnosis, cancer, venous

thrombosis, or infertility treatment. Data were collected from January1,

1995, December 31, 2013, and analyzed from January1, 2015, through April,

2016. Use of different types of hormonal contraception. With time-varying

covariates, adjusted incidence ratios (RRs) were calculated from first use of

an antidepressant and first diagnosis of depression at a psychiatric hospital.

A total of 1061997 women (mean (SD) age, 24.4 (0.0001) years; Mean SD

follow-up (0.0004) years were included in the analysis. Cont…

242,791 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any

source. This article got #8 positions.

Altmetric provides with a single metric per output so that can quickly compare relative

levels of attention but it only makes sense to use this when comparing apples with apples (within

a single discipline). The norms for attention are very different for different scientific disciplines,

just as the norms for citations are. Altmetric only tracks public attention. Papers are discussed in

private forums, offline in journal and by email but cannot track this. Altmetric tracks direct

attention, that is to say attention focused on a specific research paper or dataset. More

specifically for a newspaper article or blog post etc. to be counted by Altmetric it must contain a

hyperlink to or formal citation of a scholarly work. Altmetric measures attention, not quality.

People pay attention to papers for all sorts of reasons, not all of them positive.
