New indicators for measuring research impact
Measuring
research impact by utilizing different metrics, help you to see the
bigger picture of your research outcome and publications influences. The
reach of a publication can no longer be judged exclusively by the
number of times it is cited. Because, we are now in the digital and
sharing information age, academic conversations are as likely to be
found on various academic social networks. So, we need new tools to
measure the research impact. Altmetrics are new metrics proposed as
alternatives to Impact Factor for journals and personal citation indexes
like h-index. Altmetrics attempts to use the online activity to measure
impact, buzz, word of mouth for scientific information and it includes
new ways to measure usage at the citation level. In this workshop, I
will explain about the application of different research metrics
especially "alternative metrics" tools such as: Altmetric.com,
Impactstory.org, Plumanalytics.com, and PLoS metrics.
