Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the role of altmetrics as an innovative approach in scientometrics and its impact on transforming research evaluation methods. The primary question of the study is how altmetrics can be used as a complementary tool for evaluating the impacts of research and assist policymakers and researchers in better identifying the strengths and challenges within the research system.
Method: This study was conducted using library resources and a comprehensive analysis of articles related to scientometrics and altmetrics. To collect data, we reviewed reliable articles and sources in the field of research performance evaluation, extracting information related to altmetrics and traditional indicators. Additionally, by analyzing the existing data, the strengths and weaknesses of altmetrics were identified in comparison to traditional evaluation methods, and their impact on assessing research outcomes was examined. This approach involves analyzing the types of interactions within social networks, online feedback, and other informal metrics that contribute to a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the impact of research. Furthermore, this study presents a framework for analyzing information to facilitate the effective use of altmetrics, which can be applied in scientific and research policy-making.
Findings: Altmetrics can serve as a complementary tool to assist researchers in developing multidimensional and more realistic perspectives on the impact of their research. Additionally, the use of altmetrics can foster innovation and progress in scientific policy-making, particularly in areas where scientific and social interactions are analyzed from various perspectives.
Conclusion: Altmetrics can serve as a complementary tool for assessing the impact of research and assist policymakers in making evidence-based decisions by providing a comprehensive and multidimensional view of scientific, social, and cultural impacts. The recommendations outlined in this study, which include standardizing altmetrics methods and addressing existing weaknesses, can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of this tool in evaluating research. Ultimately, the aim of these suggestions is to establish a robust connection between science and society, while enhancing the involvement of researchers and policymakers in the pursuit of sustainable development.
