“…25,28 Recently, alternative web-based metrics, named altmetrics , have been created owing to the emergence and popularity of social media. 15 Altmetric the company tracks and quantifies the dissemination of research on various social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, and online news stories, to generate an aggregate score called the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS). 2,3,28 Various potential benefits of using altmetrics as opposed to traditional bibliometrics have been proposed: altmetrics allow for the assessment of publication impact beyond academia and the evaluation of different types of less commonly cited scholarly content, such as data sets and software.…”

“…5 Correlation statistics between the AAS and citation counts have ranged from moderately high 16,21 to fairly weak, 8,12 whereas the AAS and journal impact factor have been found to be weakly associated. 9,15,21 Xia et al 29 analyzed the correlation between tweets and citations of articles in Nature across differing publication years, disciplines, and Twitter user types and reported a discrepancy between the most cited articles and most tweeted articles, suggesting that altmetrics and citation-based metrics may be assessing different types of impact. However, research containing important social and cultural implications may be otherwise neglected by traditional citation-based and impact factor metrics, 22 and the significance of the AAS may vary by field.…”

What Is the Predictive Ability and Academic Impact of the Altmetrics Score and Social Media Attention?

et al. 2020

Background: Citation rate and journal impact factor have traditionally been used to assess research impact; however, these may fail to represent impact beyond the sphere of academics. Given that social media is now used to disseminate research, alternative web-based metrics (altmetrics) were recently developed to better understand research impact on social media. However, the relationship between altmetrics and traditional bibliometrics in orthopaedic literature is poorly understood. Purpose: To (1) assess the extent that altmetrics correlate with traditional bibliometrics and (2) identify publication characteristics that predict greater altmetrics scores. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Articles published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine ( AJSM), The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, Acta Orthopaedica, and Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy between January 2016 and December 2016 were analyzed. Among the extracted publication characteristics were journal, number of authors, geographic region of origin, highest degree of first author, study subject and design, sample size, conflicts of interest, and level of evidence; number of references, institutions, citations, tweets, Facebook mentions, and news mentions; and Altmetric Attention Score (AAS). Multivariate regressions were used to determine (1) publication characteristics predictive of AAS and social media attention (mentions on Twitter, Facebook, and the news) and (2) the relationship between AAS and citation rate. Results: A total of 496 published articles were included, with a mean AAS of 8.6 (SD, 31.7; range, 0-501) and a mean citation rate of 15.0 (SD, 16.1; range, 0-178). Articles in AJSM (β = 19.9; P < .001), publications from North America (β = 8.5; P = .033), and studies concerning measure validation/reliability (β = 25.5; P = .004) were independently associated with higher AAS. Greater AAS score significantly predicted a greater citation rate (β = 0.16; P < .0001). The citation rate was an independent predictor of greater social media attention on Twitter, Facebook, and the news (odds ratio range, 1.02-1.03; P < .05 all). Conclusion: AAS had a significant positive association with citation rates of articles in 5 high-impact orthopaedic journals. Articles in AJSM, studies concerning measure validation and reliability, and publications from North America were positively associated with greater AAS. A greater number of citations was consistently associated with publication attention received on social media platforms.

AAS was sensitive to the latest content, and recent publications tended to receive higher AAS.…”

Background. As the average life expectancy continues to increase, interest in cognitive impairment is increasing. Nowadays, as social media expands its reach, academic research is spreading through social media, changing the way and speed by which research is propagated and also who consumes this content. Therefore, using Altmetric, a new web-based set of metrics that analyzes the impact of content on social media platforms, we investigated the characteristics of influential research articles on the topic of cognitive impairment in social media. Methods. An Altmetric Explorer search was performed on May 25, 2018, to extract the following information: (i) journal name, (ii) journal impact factor (IF), (iii) year of publication, (iv) article topic, (v) article type, and (vi) cognitive impairment subtype. Results. The journal “Neurology” was the most cited journal for cognitive impairment articles shared on social media. Among the various types of cognitive impairment, most articles were related to dementia (all subtypes), Alzheimer’s disease, and aging. The most common article type was original scientific paper, especially cohort study. The most popular topic was the identification of protective or risk factors for cognitive impairment. Conclusion. The characteristics of articles with a high Altmetric Attention Score were somewhat different from those of articles with a high number of traditional citations. Social media had the disadvantage that it was difficult to verify the authenticity of the primary source in question, but the advantage was that it could immediately determine the trends regarding how information about that source was being shared and consumed. Therefore, it may be advisable to use Altmetric analysis in combination with traditional methods of evaluating the research articles to understand the dissemination of scientific research and to direct future research.

“…Por otra parte, en nuestro estudio los artículos de revisión y consenso captaron más atención mediática que los originales de acuerdo con autores previos, aunque no se trate de contenido original y posiblemente estén sobrerrepresentados en este tipo de análisis 9,10 . Respecto al 32% que aportó este tipo de artículos en nuestro estudio, este porcentaje es similar al de otros análisis bibliométricos recientes sobre los artículos históricamente más citados de disciplinas y temas biomédicos como la Dermatología (25%) 11 , la leucoplasia oral (37%) 12 o el accidente cerebrovascular (36%) 13 .…”

Introducción: Las métricas alternativas o altmetrics son todas aquellas mediciones de la producción científica diferentes a los indicadores clásicos y recogen su influencia mediática en redes sociales y canales de difusión similares. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el impacto mediático de Archivos de Bronconeumología en 2 agregadores de altmetrics y de las visitas a su página web. Métodos: Estudio observacional de los artículos originales, de revisión y de consenso de Archivos de Bronconeumología durante el periodo 2014-2018. Se analizaron los agregadores PlumX Metrics y Altmetric, y las visitas a la página web de Archivos de Bronconeumología. Se realizaron 5 comparaciones: por especialidad firmante, por financiación recibida, por número de centros participantes, por tipología documental y por área temática. Como subanálisis, se correlacionaron las altmetrics con las citaciones convencionales. Resultados: Se analizaron 273 publicaciones de las que 186 fueron artículos originales (68,1%). Las publicaciones de Neumología y las de revisión y consenso obtuvieron mayor impacto mediático en los 2 agregadores analizados, así como en las visitas a la página web. El score medio de atención de Altmetric fue de 1,9 ± 4,4 (rango 0-59), por encima del promedio para la antigüedad de la publicación. Se documentó una correlación estadísticamente significativa débil a moderada entre las altmetrics y las citaciones clásicas. Conclusiones: Las publicaciones de revisión, de consenso y las de Neumología tuvieron mayor impacto mediático. El score medio de atención de Altmetric fue superior al promedio en función de la antigüedad de las publicaciones. Se objetivó una correlación débil a moderada de las altmetrics con las citaciones convencionales.
