“…As the altmetrics provide 'real-time' information on the online impact of research they are currently a useful complement to the traditional bibliometric values which take longer to establish [23] . However, these new tools are surrounded by controversies and skepticism, as they do not correlate with traditional bibliometric measures, and an important question becomes as to whether research should generate scholarly or social interest [20] , and whether it measures quality or attention [24] . Furthermore, what is exactly measured and how the measure can adjust to a constantly changing online environment containing so many diverse sources of information is questionable?…”

“…In the last years, many journals are adopting a strategy to spread the journal content through social media[14]. New ways to measuring the impact metrics of the research publi-cations through social media are used now, one of the best examples Altmetrics[15], that maybe could compete with the classic impact factor in the future.…”

Social media has changed the way we learn, educate, and interact with our peers. The dynamic nature of social media and their immediate availability through our portable devices (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.) is quickly transforming the way we participate in society. The scope of these digital tools is broad as they deal with many different aspects: Teaching and learning, case discussion, congresses coverage, peer to peer interaction, research are examples worth mentioning. The scientific societies considered more innovative, are promoting these tools between their members. These new concepts need to be known by the cardiologists to stay updated, as countless information is moving rapidly through these channels. We summarize the main reasons why learning how to use these tools to be part of the conversation is essential for the cardiologist in training or fully stablished.

“…Even in the era of alternative metrics, most research data remain uncited and the actual impact of alternative metrics in evaluating article impact remains uncertain. 40 Conversely, a central criticism of alternative metrics is that they measure attention, and not necessarily quality. 40 The most frequently shared or “newsworthy” papers might not be the most scientifically rigorous.…”

“… 40 Conversely, a central criticism of alternative metrics is that they measure attention, and not necessarily quality. 40 The most frequently shared or “newsworthy” papers might not be the most scientifically rigorous. 41 A recent analysis of the top cited papers in EM suggested that there is a “mild correlation” between citation counts and Altmetric scores.…”

There are approximately 78 indexed journals in the specialty of emergency medicine (EM), making it challenging to determine which is the best option for junior faculty. This paper is the final component of a three-part series focused on guiding junior faculty to enhance their scholarly productivity. As an EM junior faculty’s research career advances, the bibliometric tools and resources detailed in this paper should be considered when developing a publication submission strategy. The tenure and promotion decision process in many universities relies at least in part on these types of bibliometrics. This paper provides an understanding of new, alternative metrics that can be used to promote scientific progress in a transparent and timely manner.
