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?
Ever since its invention, the Internet has become an omnipresent part of everyday communication. It has become common in science to share your articles via Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook. 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?
The Embassy Editorial team, Iris Lechner, Natalie Evans, Vassilis Markakis, Marin Vidak contributed to this theme. Latest contribution was Mar 26, 2021
