Purpose The first purpose of the present study is to investigate coverage journal articles in Physics various sources altmetrics. Secondly, investigates relationship between altmetrics and citations. Finally, also whether citations was stronger or weaker for those that had been mentioned at least once Design/methodology/approach having one author from an Indian Institution published during 2014...

In this study, the ‘academic status’ of users of scientific publications in Mendeley is explored in order to analyse the usage pattern of Mendeley users in terms of subject fields, citation and readership impact. The main focus of this study is on studying the filtering capacity of Mendeley readership counts compared to journal citation scores in detecting highly cited WoS publications. Main fi...

This paper analyzes Altmetric.com, one of the most important altmetric data providers currently used. We have analyzed a set of publications with DOI number indexed in the Web of Science during the period 2011-2013 and collected their data with the Altmetric API. 19% of the original set of papers was retrieved from Altmetric.com including some altmetric data. We identified 16 different social m...

Thelwall (2017a, 2017b) proposed a new family of fieldand time-normalized indicators, which is intended for sparse data. These indicators are based on units of analysis (e.g., institutions) rather than on the paper level. They compare the proportion of mentioned papers (e.g., on Twitter) of a unit with the proportion of mentioned papers in the corresponding fields and publication years (the exp...

In the past few decades, scientific communication has become widespread through academic social networks (ASNs). The purpose of this article is to consider ASNs both as a research tool and an object study in publications. scientometric analysis literature on was carried out. set consisted 1,216 records retrieved from Web Science (WoS) database. included documents where were objects or those onl...

Altmetrics and other article-level metrics offer new opportunities to understand the impact of medical publications and, indeed, clinical trial programmes. For example, we can learn whether publication has been viewed, shared, engaged with, or cited on different platforms. These have limitations, but tools techniques for aggregating summarising are making it easier planners their publications.
