- Title
ALTMÉTRICAS PARA LA EVALUACIÓN DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN Y EL ANÁLISIS DE NECESIDADES DE INFORMACIÓN.
- Authors
Borrego, Ángel
- Abstract
Altmetrics measure the impact of research by quantifying its presence on the social web. The use of this tool in research evaluation can supplement citation analysis. However, altmetric data sources suffer from biases similar to those of citation databases. Although altmetrics offer article-level metrics, it is necessary to normalize data collection in order to guarantee the consistency of altmetric indicators and to build a conceptual framework to interpret them. Altmetrics can be a source of information on researchers' information behaviour and needs.
