Metrics: Do metrics matter?Nature 2010http://doi.org/10.1038/465860a
"Outside letters basically trump everything," says Robert Simoni, chairman of the biology department at Stanford University in California.

“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?”

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”

Altmetrics is the study and use of scholarly impact measures based on activity in online tools and environments.

ALTMETRICS AS MEASURES OF IMPACT?
![Page 15: Altmetrics: painting a broader picture of impact](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061110/53f3687b8d7f72c80e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“It took approximately a generation (20 years) for bibliographic citation analysis to achieve acceptability as a measure of academic impact."
(Vaughan and Shaw, 2003)

Bottom Line: use altmetrics as evidence in a larger story

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
![Page 29: Altmetrics: painting a broader picture of impact](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061110/53f3687b8d7f72c80e8b4871/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
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
