English abstract

Title: Altmetrics for research evaluation and information needs assessment. Altmetrics measure the impact of research by quantifying its presence on the social web. The use of this tool in research evaluation can supplement citation analysis. However, altmetric data sources suffer from biases similar to those of citation databases. Although altmetrics offer article-level metrics, it is necessary to normalize data collection in order to guarantee the consistency of altmetric indicators and to build a conceptual framework to interpret them. Altmetrics can be a source of information on researchers’ information behaviour and needs.

Spanish abstract

Las altmétricas miden el impacto de la investigación cuantificando su presencia en la web social. Su utilización para la evaluación de la ciencia puede complementar el análisis de citas. Sin embargo, las fuentes de datos altmétricos presentan sesgos similares a los de las bases de datos de citas. Aunque las altmétricas ofrecen datos de uso a nivel de artículo, es necesario normalizar los procedimientos de recogida de datos para garantizar la consistencia de estos indicadores y construir un marco conceptual que permita interpretarlos. Las altmétricas pueden ser también una fuente de información sobre los hábitos y necesidades de información de los investigadores.
