“…online open access journals, blogs) are seldom in a journal format to which an impact factor can be assigned to ( [28], [29], [30]). Accordingly, this school argues the case for an alternative and faster impact measurement that includes other forms of publication and the social web coverage of a scientific contribution.…”

Based on a literature review, this paper aims at structuring the overall discourse by proposing five Open Science schools of thought: The infrastructure school (which is concerned with the technological architecture), the public school (which is concerned with the accessibility of knowledge creation), the measurement school (which is concerned with alternative impact measurement), the democratic school (which is concerned with access to knowledge) and the pragmatic school (which is concerned with collaborative research).

“…Mapping researchers' influence on the Internet has been of concern since at least the late 1990s (Cronin et al, 1998). Altmetrics as a concept, however, is much younger, having been first articulated in 2010 by a group of scientists in the Altmetrics Manifesto (Priem et al, 2010). The authors point out that in using data from the social web, we can start to track and quantify interactions with scholarship that were previously invisible:…”

“…Altmetrics are noted for being quick to accumulate, available for any research output format (that is, not just journal articles or books, but also datasets, software and presentations), and useful for understanding the use and uptake of scholarship among many audiences (Priem et al, 2010;Sud and Thelwall, 2013;Kousha and Thelwall, 2015a, b).…”

Altmetrics: diversifying the understanding of influential scholarship

The increase in the availability of data about how research is discussed, used, rated, recommend, saved and read online has allowed researchers to reconsider the mechanisms by which scholarship is evaluated. It is now possible to better track the influence of research beyond academia, though the measures by which we can do so are not yet mature enough to stand on their own. In this article, we examine a new class of data (commonly called "altmetrics") and describe its benefits, limitations and recommendations for its use and interpretation in the context of research assessment. This article is published as part of a collection on the future of research assessment.
