“No one can read everything. We rely on filters to make sense of the
scholarly literature, but the narrow, traditional filters are being
swamped. However, the growth of new, online scholarly tools allows us
to make new filters; these altmetrics reflect the broad, rapid impact of
scholarship in this burgeoning ecosystem. We call for more tools and
research based on altmetrics.”
