abstract

Altmetrics is an emerging area encompassing broader assessment of scholarly impact through downloads, links, and online conversations to fill gaps in assessing research. Bibliometrics is the traditional form of measuring the impact of scholarly research through citation rates. To celebrate Open Access Week 2013, the Research & Instruction Librarian for Sciences and the Scholarly Communication Librarian at Wake Forest University will compare bibliometrics and altmetrics, and discuss their applications in science information literacy and research assessment in higher education.
