WHY ALTMETRICS?
Goals of the program
 Serve the Pitt community
– Track impact of documents in the institutional repository
– Custom researcher profiles for a small pilot group
– Full rollout to all University researchers forthcoming
 Serve our publishing clients
– Embed PlumX Widget in all journals and repositories
– Demonstrate impact of published articles and preprints
– Help integrate altmetrics with Open publishing platforms
Why altmetrics?
 More comprehensive
– Citations, usage, social media
 Covers impact of online behavior
– Because scholars increasingly
work online
 Measures impact of nontraditional scholarly formats
 Measures impact immediately
– Because citation counts take years to
appear in literature
