Abstract
Revisión teórica de los principales métodos de medición del impacto de la producción científica en el área de los Estudios Métricos de la Información, con énfasis en el nuevo método de la Altmetría. El objetivo de este estudio es mostrar el despertar de esta métrica, con el surgimiento de la web 2.0, y su importancia para la evaluación del impacto y la influencia que alcanzan las actividades académicas en esta nueva plataforma. Se la toma como métrica alternativa, dado que se caracteriza por la creación y uso de nuevos indicadores que exploran las propiedades de las mediciones basadas en las redes sociales, actuando de forma diferente a lo que ocurre con los indicadores de impacto tradicionales; indicadores, estos últimos, que en virtud de sus limitaciones, han sido objeto de muchas críticas. La Altmetría también viene ganando fuerza como una opción más clara, efectiva y actual que la propia Webometría. Se abordan sus antecedentes, origen, conceptos, aplicaciones, indicadores, fuentes de datos, herramientas y formas de contabilización. Se exponen otras posibles explicaciones sobre los motivos que llevan a utilizar indicadores y métricas alternativas para analizar el impacto académico y se finaliza con el examen de las perspectivas que se abren para estas nuevas formas de medición en los próximos tiempos. Se llega a la conclusión de que la Altmetría puede ser una métrica alternativa complementaria a las métricas tradicionales, en la medida en que permite que la contabilización de citas o menciones a la producción académica mundial sea más justa e igualitaria, dando lugar a una ciencia también más democrática.
Theoretical review of the main impact of the measurement methods of scientific production in the area of Information Metric Studies with an emphasis on recent method of Altmetrics. The objective of this study is to show the rise of this metric, with the emergence of Web 2.0, pointing to the impact and influence achieved by academic activities on this new platform. It is presented as an alternative measure, in that it is characterized by the creation and study of new indicators that explore the properties of measurements based on social networks, in a different way of the traditional impact indicators, constantly criticized for its limitations. The Altmetrics also is becoming more important as a lighter effective and current option than webometrics. In this paper we discuss its background, its origin, concepts, applications, indicators, data sources, tools and ways of counting. Exposes other possible approaches on the grounds of the use of alternative indicators and metrics to estimate the academic impact and ends with the expectations of such measures for the future. We conclude that the Altmetrics can be a complementary metric, alternative to traditional metrics in that it allows counting citation or references to global scholarly production in a more just and equal way, resulting in a science also more democratic.
