The study explores the citedness of research data, its distribution over time and how it is related to the availability of a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) in Thomson Reuters’ DCI (Data Citation Index). We investigate if cited research data “impact” the (social) web, reflected by altmetrics scores, and if there is any relationship between the number of citations and the sum of altmetrics score...

Background information is provided related to the Web 2.0 related term altmetrics. This term is placed in the context of the broader field of informetrics. The term influmetrics is proposed as a better term for altmetrics. The importance of considering research products and not just scientific publications is highlighted. Issues related to peer review and making funding decisions within a multi...

Background: As social networks are increasingly used, the research published through social networks should be evaluated. Hence, new measures were employed to examine the scientific effectiveness of social networks. The measurements taken from social networks, called Altmetrics, provide an opportunity to evaluate research. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the presence of indexed artic...

本研究では2006~2015年に日本の学協会誌に掲載された論文1,080,840本を対象に,日英の主 要なオルトメトリクス計測サービスから得たデータに基づき,オルトメトリクスの付与状況を分析した結 果について報告する.日本の学協会誌掲載論文のうち,ソーシャルメディアからの言及があるものは 約1~2%とごくわずかであった.分野,言語,出版年とオルトメトリクスの関係については用いるデー タ源により異なる傾向があるが,人文社会系の論文でソーシャルメディアからの言及が多いことは共 通している.また,同一の論文を対象とした場合でも,データ源によって収集されているソーシャルメ ディア上の言及の範囲は異なっていた. This study clarifies the availability of altmetrics for 1,080,840 articles published in Japa...

Any librarian in this field will need to continue not only filling these roles, but also ensuring that they themselves are part of the conversation as it moves forward and staying up-to-date with developments within area. The concept library involvement pertaining metrics did originate altmetrics. Impact Factor was originally created primarily for use by librarians making collection development...

Mike Thelwall, Nabeil Maflahi This article introduces a new source of evidence of the value of medical-related research: citations from clinical guidelines. These give evidence that research findings have been used to inform the day-to-day practice of medical staff. In order to identify whether citations from guidelines can give different information from that of traditional citation counts, th...

Purpose: Impact of science is one of the most important topics in scientometrics. Recent developments show a fundamental change in impact measurements from impact on science to impact on society. Approach: Since impact measurement is currently in a state of far reaching changes, this paper describes recent developments and facing problems in this area. For that the results of key publications (...

Altmetrics measure scientific impact outside of traditional scientific literature. We identify mentions of scientific research or entities like researchers, academic or research organizations in a corpus containing blogs, articles, news items etc. We manually analysed the corpus for patterns of such informal mentions and then applied text mining techniques by developing extraction rules for min...
