The shift in scholarly communication has called for new ways to
measure scholarly impact. Altmetrics has recently garnered
significant attention within the academic community as a promising
new area for the measurement and evaluation of research impact by
using online tools to gather a variety of metrics related to
scholarly output. But how well do these promises hold up, and how
can libraries help to influence the conversation regarding
altmetrics and its future? This issue of Library Technology Reports
introduces the concept of altmetrics in relation to existing
citation-based research metrics, positioning its use in the larger
academic community. Discussing both the promise and the controversy
of altmetrics, the authors offer practical guidance on such topics
as: major academic tools and peer networks, such as institutional
repositories (IRs), CiteULike, and Mendeley; Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube, Amazon, and other social media sources that comprise the
spectrum of altmetrics; altmetric harvesting tools, such as
Altmetric, Impactstory, and Plum X; educating and supporting the
academic community in the use of altmetrics; measuring
article-level impact independent of scholarly journals.
