Presentation Transcript

  1. OAI8 • Euan Adie

  2. This talk • What we do (5 mins) • What’s different, what have the reactions been (5 mins) • Show me the data (10 mins) • You tell me (10 mins)

  3. API http://api.altmetric.com/v1/citations/1d http://api.altmetric.com/v1/citations/3d?doi_prefix=10.1038

  4. altmetric.it

  5. Altmetric can • Make authors very happy • Be a tool to aid qualitative assessment • Track uptake • Help researchers, journals, funders to find, quantify successes

  6. Altmetric can’t • Replace citation counts • Be used to measure quality • Make people talk about your content

  7. Right now • Altmetrics is a misnomer • Aspirational!

  8. How we’re different

  9. Collect everything

  10. News tracker

  11. Policy documents Where did the evidence for the UK’s diabetes type 2 treatment guidelines come from? (65 docs, naive cite counts) The Lancet (11%) BMJ (9%) JAMA (5%) But also: CRMO (2.5% - 35 cites) Clinical Therapeutics (2% - 30 cites)

  12. Altmetric score

  13. Reactions • In general • Authors • Readers • Editors

  14. The data • Set expectations

  15. That’s 1 mention every 7 seconds Mentions range in complexity, from quick shares to comprehensive reviews. Each week, ~25,000 unique articles are shared. Each day, scholarly articles receive ~14,000 new mentions across social media, news, and blogs.

  16. Audience • 1.4M Twitter profiles in past 18 months • 10M scientists worldwide • Absolute (unrealistic) upper bound: 14% of scientists have tweeted a paper in past 18 months

  17. Growth • The number of tweets containing a link to a paper grows by 5 - 10% each month.

  18. Thursday 13th July • 13,249 articles seen by Altmetric • 5,347 (40%) new that day • 22,500 articles added to PubMed

  19. Disciplinary differences • In journals: • 25 - 35% life sciences • 15 - 20% social sciences • 5% physics & math?

  20. Not all about journals • 96,000 articles added in arXiv in past year • 53,809 shared or discussed in past year

  21. Content

  22. Open challenges • Collecting more data • Understanding relationships between that data • Metrics beyond attention

  23. Haven’t mentioned • Gaming • What about negative attention? • Isn’t having a single number dangerous • Does it work for HSS? • Why are the numbers different between ImpactStory and Altmetric?
