Depuis plusieurs années maintenant, les altmetrics sont souvent présentés comme des indicateurs qui remplaceront un jour les indicateurs bibliométriques historiques. Une revue de littérature conduite par trois chercheurs de l’Universidad de Las Américas en Équateur fait le point sur ce qu’il en est aujourd’hui.
« (…) This article critically examines whether altmetrics can serve as a substitute for traditional metrics by exploring their strengths, limitations, disciplinary variations, and correlation with conventional indicators. Through a review of recent empirical studies and theoretical debates, the article argues that while altmetrics offer valuable insights into social impact and…
« Given the importance of Google Search in generating visits to institutional repositories (IR), a lack of visibility in search engine results pages can hinder the possibility of their publications being found, read, downloaded, and, eventually, cited. To address this, institutions need to evaluate the visibility of their repositories to determine…
« Nous vous expliquions précédemment ce que sont les altmetrics, notamment en comparaison avec les indicateurs bibliométriques traditionnels. Vous aviez ainsi peut-être pu découvrir que, contrairement aux indicateurs basés sur les citations, ils ne mesurent pas l’impact scientifique des productions mais leur
« Scientometric analyses applying critical sociological frameworks have previously shown that high-prestige research output—with regards to both quantity and impact—is typically clustered in a few core countries and world regions, indicating uneven power relations and systematic biases within global academia. Although citation count is a common formula in these analyses, only…
« One could think that bibliometric measurement of academic performance has always been digital since the computer-assisted invention of the Science Citation Index. Yet, since the 2000s, the digitization of bibliometric infrastructure has accelerated at a rapid pace. Citation databases are indexing an increasing variety of publication types. Altmetric data aggregators…
« The present study aims to analyze 1) the relationship between Citation Normalized Score of scientific publications and Article Processing Charges (APCs) of Gold Open Access (OA) publications 2) the determinants of APCs. To do so, we used APCs information provided by the OpenAPC database, citation scores of publications from the…
« Altmetric indicators allow exploring and profiling individuals who discuss and share scientific literature in social media. But it is still a challenge to identify and characterize communities based on the research topics in which they are interested as social and geographic proximity also influence interactions. This paper proposes a new…
« The goal of the open access (OA) movement is to help everyone access the scholarly research, not just those who can afford to. However, most studies looking at whether OA has met this goal have focused on whether other scholars are making use of OA research. Few have considered how…
« Understanding the impact of research is of vital importance to science. The altmetrics movement is defined by its belief that research impact is best measured by diverse real time data about how a research artifact is being used and discussed. These metrics serve as “alternatives” to…
