What is this about?
Altmetrics is an alternative, online based approach to research metrics, as opposed to traditional ones, such as h-index or impact factor [1]
Why is this important?

Measuring that part of online impact is important as it offers different insight into popularity and use of published articles (2).
For whom is this important?
