English abstract

When measuring the impact of research articles, which context and whose criteria are being used? Under the heading of #altmetrics several initiatives are putting interesting ideas into practise with the aim to minimize the influence of the so-called Journal Impact Factor (JIF) in favour of Article Level Metrics (ALM). First, however, general issues of more transparency are addressed, and there are several unsolved issues as regards rankings of all kinds, also in #altmetrics. This contribution aims to point out some problematic correlations and contexts in an introductory and critical fashion.

German abstract

In welchem Kontext und nach wessen Kriterien wird der Einfluss (Impact) wissenschaftlicher Artikel gemessen? Verschiedene alternative Initiativen setzen mit dem Stichwort #altmetrics bereits Interessantes um, damit der sogenannte Journal Impact Factor (JIF) an Einfluss verliert – zugunsten von Article level metrics (ALM). Zunächst geht es allerdings allgemein um mehr Transparenz, und an ungelösten Fragen bezüglich Rankings aller Art fehlt es auch bei #altmetrics nicht, meint Claudia Koltzenburg, die in ihrem einführenden Beitrag einige Zusammenhänge kritisch aufzeigt.
