How well developed are altmetrics? A cross-disciplinary analysis of the presence of 'alternative metrics' in scientific publications 1

In this paper an analysis of the presence and possibilities of altmetrics for bibliometric and performance analysis is carried out. Using the web based tool Impact Story, we collected metrics for 20,000 random publications from the Web of Science. We studied both the presence and distribution of altmetrics in the set of publications, across fields, document types and over publication years, as well as the extent to which altmetrics correlate with citation indicators. The main result of the study is that the altmetrics source that provides the most metrics is Mendeley, with metrics on readerships for 62.6% of all the publications studied, other sources only provide marginal information. In terms of relation with citations, a moderate spearman correlation (r=0.49) has been found between Mendeley readership counts and citation indicators. Other possibilities and limitations of these indicators are discussed and future research lines are outlined.

Os dados são apresentados a partir do método quantitativo, sendo que a análise das publicações foi feita com base na observação sistemática dos artigos, seguindo a técnica bibliométrica. Dentre os resultados, destacam-se as pesquisas qualitativas e nas subáreas do jornalismo e audiovisual.

From altmetrics to citation: analisys of the brazilian datagramazero journal

This paper reflects about the impacts and possible relationships between altmetrics data and traditional citations. Presents an empirical analysis of the Information Science DataGramaZero Journal. The altmetrics data were collected by parameterization of APIs (Facebook and Twitter); and to collect the citations the Publish or Perish with data Google.Scholar was used. The universe of 441 articles provided for analysis 1,164 altmetrics data and 1,932 citations. The results shows 47.85% of the articles received one or more mentions and 36.73% of them have one or more citation. Old articles have higher citation index and recent articles have more altmetrics data. The relationship between this metrics is not direct and proportional, but articles with altmetrics data concentrate 61.34% of the total citations received. The multiple URLs for the same article and the qualification of altmetrics data when generated by APIs are challenges to overcome.

Perfil da produção científica sobre estudo da técnica análise por envoltória de dados: uma pesquisa na literatura nacional e internacional

The objective of the present article is to present a bibliographical survey of the applications of the technique "Data Envelopment Analysis", in national and international literature. Moreover, it identifies to possible sectors and applications, not yet explored, that can be object of inquiry in future research. For in such a way it was necessary, initially, to identify excellent aspects in international literature, contemplating three stages: (a) the main the publication authors and number in the subject; (b) main the periodic ones where the publications had been found; e (c) publication number for country. Meanwhile, the systematization of national literature presented a structuralized methods procedure in the following phases: (a) Brazilian publication regularity; (b) amount of master and doctor degree for university in Brazil; e (c) level of knowledge -professionalizing, master and doctor degree -for academic area defended. On the basis of the results, were verified that still few publications exist, in Brazil, decurrent of texts form doctor degree, being that the same it occurs with publications techniques, on the subject. Moreover, the publications are originated, in its majority, of two great polar regions -UFRJ and UFSC -what demonstrates one high degree of concentration of studies of this nature. The contribution of the present article is to serve of base and to guide studies of new researchers of the area.

in Brazil : Comparative analysis between quality indices and indices of academic and social impact

2018

This paper aims to profile Brazilian Information Science journals and compare their quality and impact indicators, be these traditional or altmetrics indicators. It is an exploratory and descriptive research, with quantitative analysis of 23 journals, analysed in accordance with their Qualis (2013-6) assessment, their h and g indices from Google Scholar Metrics and their altmetrics data from Facebook for the period 2011 to 2016. The Qualis assessment was obtained from the Sucupira Platform, the indices from Harzing’s Publish or Perish, and the altmetrics through the Facebook Application Programming Interface (API). The results show that the journals were created between 1972 and 2011, that they are edited by universities and that the most adopted frequency of publication is biannual (52%), followed by quarterly (39%). Regarding the national quality indicator Qualis, 73% of the journals fall within the higher stratum of B1 to A1. Regarding impact, 30.4% of the journals have an h-inde...
