The reach of a publication can no longer be judged exclusively
by the number of times it is cited, because, we are now in the digital and
sharing information age, academic conversations are as likely to be found
on various academic social networks. So, we need new tools to measure
the research impact. Altmetrics are new metrics proposed as alternatives
to Impact Factor for journals and personal citation indexes like h-index.
Altmetrics attempts to use the online activity to measure impact, buzz,
word of mouth for scientific information and it includes new ways to
measure usage at the citation level. In this workshop, I will explain about
the application of "alternative metrics" tools such as: Altmetric.com,
Impactstory.org, Plumanalytics.com, and PLoS metrics.
