Today I’m at the BRIC conference in #Edmonton https://bric-conference.ca/.

I heard a question about Twitter and altmetrics. What could we do to capture altmetrics in the #fediverse? I didn’t have an answer.

Is there an answer? @evan

Quelle place pour les #altmetrics dans l’#EvaluationDeLaRecherche ? Une revue de la littérature fait le point sur les connaissances actuelles :
- Comment permettent-ils de saisir plusieurs dimensions de l’impact d’une publication ?
- Quelles sont leurs limites ?
- Pourront-ils un jour remplacer les indicateurs bibliométriques historiques ?

Gave a short online lecture on altmetrics today. Main point: altmetrics measure attention, not quality. Sometimes they capture real interest - sometimes just noise. Attention ≠ impact.

📣 Tomorrow plan to join us to learn how to gather citation metrics and explore altmetrics in Digital Science platforms (e.g. Dimensions, Symplectic Elements, Altmetric)

📊 We’ll cover searching for publications, people, and research organizations so that you can find key metrics (citation counts, FCR, news + policy mentions) and export data for visualization.
