The potential for altmetrics to measure other types of impact in scientific production : academic and social impact dynamics in social media and networks
University of Borås, Sweden with technical support from Lund University, Sweden
Abstract
Introduction. Altmetrics is an area under construction, with a potential to study the impacts of
academic products from social media data. It is believed that altmetrics can capture social and
academic impacts, going beyond measures obtained using bibliometric and scientometric
indicators. This research aimed to analyse aspects, characteristics and potentialities for the
measuring of the social impact provided by altmetrics in social media.
Method. 100 papers with higher altmetric scores were gathered from SciELO’s database using
the altmetric.com tool.
Analysis. Profiles from individuals on Facebook and Twitter acting or reacting to the papers
were analysed. These profiles were categorized as Social Impact and Academic Impact.
Results. The results strongly indicate the impact measured using altmetrics greatly reproduces
the scientist-to-scientist relation, as do bibliometrics and scientometrics.
Conclusion. The social impact measured by actions and interactions on Facebook and Twitter
reach a significant 36%, attesting the potentiality of altmetrics for measurement, in addition to
the academic impact and the impact of scientific results in society. Disponível em: . Acesso em: 11 jun. 2018.Faculdade de Ciência da Informação (FCI
