Altmetric, or altmetric.com, is a data science company that tracks where published research is mentioned online, and provides tools and services to institutions, publishers, researchers, funders and other organisations to monitor this activity, commonly referred to as altmetrics. Altmetric was recognized by European Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn in 2014 as a company challenging the traditional reputation systems. What is your experience with it? How does it reflect (or not) your best production arwards?
Altmetric scores may help to some extent to show the reputation of researchers and academics in a given areas of specialized subjects.
Dear sir Romain David
Altmetric Attention Scores can help you build your online presence, demonstrate the broader impact of your work, and increase the chances of receiving grant funding. Now, academic institutions do not consider altmetric scores. Citation and h-index are now essential; in the future, altmetric will also be taken into account for academics.
