Altmetrics are complementary to traditional, citation-based metrics. They can for instance include Wikipedia citations, discussions on research blogs, mainstream media coverage, bookmarks on social reference managers, mentions on social networks. Altmetrics can showcase real-time attention and influence of research and provide a measure for dissemination.
Altmetrics are quicker to accumulate and can capture more diverse impacts than citation-based metrics. Moreover they are applicable to more than just journals and books.
