2. Altmetrics. The start.

3. What are altmetrics?
Altmetrics are data that can explain both the volume and nature of attention that research receives online.
Altmetrics are complementary to citation-based metrics (citation counts, Journal Impact Factor etc.).
Altmetrics can measure how many people have shared or engaged with a scholarly output.
Examples of this include mentions on Twitter or in the mainstream media; page views and downloads; GitHub repository watchers.
Some types of altmetrics data can signal that research is changing a field of study, the public’s health, or having any other number of tangible effects upon larger society.
Examples of this include references in public policy documents; or commentary from experts and practitioners.

4. What are altmetrics? Advantages!
Altmetrics are (near) instant: By virtue of being sourced from the Web and not from journals and books, it’s possible to monitor and collate mentions of work online as soon as it’s published. Many types of altmetrics are updated on a daily basis.
Altmetrics can uncover more diverse attention than citation-based metrics: Altmetrics can complement citations in that they help you to understand the many ‘flavours’ of attention and impact research can have.
Altmetrics apply to more than journal articles and books: Researchers are sharing their data, software, presentations, and other scholarly outputs online more than ever before. That means we can track their use on the Web as easily as we can for articles and books.

5. What are altmetrics? Limitations!
Altmetrics don’t tell the whole story: As described above, altmetrics are a complement to, not a replacement for, things like informed peer review and citation-based metrics. Think of altmetrics as just one tool of many you’ve got in your toolbox for understanding the many types of attention that research receives.
Like with any metric, there’s a potential for gaming: Anyone with enough time on their hands can artificially inflate the altmetrics for their research. That’s why altmetrics providers like Altmetric, PLOS and SSRN have measures in place to identify and correct for gaming. Don’t forget to look at the underlying qualitative data to see who has been talking about the research, and what they’ve been saying.
Altmetrics are relatively new, more research into their use is needed: Though we’re learning a lot about how often research is shared online, we don’t yet know a lot about why it happens–more research is needed. Until we know more, use and interpret altmetrics carefully.

13. What is the Altmetric donut?
The Altmetric donut visualizes which are sources discussing an item. In the Altmetric Explorer, hover the cursor over the donut visualization to see the appropriate legend for an item. Each source is colour coded:
The Altmetric donut is a visual representation of the attention an output has received. The colours themselves reflect where the posts mentioning the output came from. For example, red means that the article has been mentioned by mainstream news outlets, blue means it has been tweeted about. In Altmetric for Institutions, you can hover the mouse cursor over a visualization to see the appropriate legend and a summary of the mentions for an output.
