Emerging metrics based on article-level does not exclude traditional metrics
based on citations to the journal, but complements them. Both can be employed in
conjunction to offer a richer picture of an article use from immediate to long
terms. Article-level metrics (ALM) is the result of the aggregation of different
data sources and the collection of content from multiple social network services.
Sources used for the aggregation can be broken down into five categories: usage,
captures, mentions, social media and citations. Data sources depend on the tool,
but they include classic metrics indicators based on citations, academic social
networks (Mendeley, CiteULike, Delicious) and social media (Facebook, Twitter,
blogs, or Youtube, among others). Altmetrics is not synonymous with alternative
metrics. Altmetrics are normally early available and allow to assess the social
impact of scholarly outputs, almost at the real time. This paper overviews
briefly the meaning of altmetrics and describes some of the existing tools used
to apply this new metrics: Public Library of Science--Article-Level Metrics,
Altmetric, Impactstory and Plum.
