The activity of measuring and describing the impact of academic
research is becoming increasingly important around the world. We need tools
to measure research impact. Bibliometrics as a tool statistically analysis of
publications. Bibliometrics has focused on the quantitative analysis of citations
and citation counts which is complex. It is so complex and specialized that
personal knowledge and experience are insufficient tools for understanding
trends for making decisions. However, 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 hindex.
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.
