In this paper we review the socalled altmetrics or alternative metrics. This concept raises from development of new indicators based on Web 2.0, for evaluation research and academic activity. The basic assumption is that variables such as mentions in blogs, number twits researchers bookmarking a instance, may be legitimate measuring use impact scientific publications. sense, these are currently focus bibliometric community being discussed debated. We describe main platforms analyze sample...
