Altmetrics are good for the humanities More engagement on Wikipedia (Ehman, Large & Beheshti, 2008) More likely to use social media in their research (Rowlands et al, 2011) Higher Mendeley readership than citation counts (Mohammadi & Thelwall, 2014) Higher coverage on social media than in citation databases (Haustein, Costas & Larivière, 2015)

Humanities content from figshare 5,564 unique outputs 20 arts & humanities disciplines 9 document types (papers, posters, datasets) January 2012 to July 14, 2015
