A BIG shout-out for the local organising committee of #1AMConf - much enjoyed the conference, good interaction, learned a lot. Thanks all!
Hint @AaltoUniversity @helsinkiuni RT @JwrHardcastle: Guerilla science movement example - Talking to public on the New York subway #1amconf
Who had thought that; paleontology and anatomy top disciplines in ärticle usage in @PLOSONE #1amconf
#1amconf Sentiment analysis tested on several platforms vs manual count (16k tweets) was mostly a joke before factoring sarcasm!
#1amconf Agree with #altmetrics being free to individuals to encourage take up, but payer-friendly interfaces needed to drive acceptance
#1amconf One problem with #altmetrics is people relating them to 'impact', when they actually measure influence, reach + engagement
#1amconf Few tools track secondary twitter citations (links to blogs/summaries) or identify conversations following a link #altmetrics
#1amconf Re:Twitter accuracy - I've found that most #altmetric tools can only track tweets that link directly.
More tweeted articles tend to be more cited, says @mikethelwall. We'll see in due time I suppose :-) #1amconf
#1amconf Even if value is proved, without consistency, #altmetrics will always be questioned.
#1amconf Why do the Mendelay counts for the same article differ significantly when pulled via different platforms? #altmetrics
Only first session of #1amconf and already 2 new tools launched; DET from @OASPA / @elife and Parascope from @CrossRefNews / @PLOSALM cool!
#1amconf Why do Crossref/Scopus citation counts differ so much? #altmetrics
#1amconf Minor interface tweaks could improve usability there. I've yet to try #Kudos but 'institutions' may address this.
#1amconf I can see value of #altmetrics and #impactstory to individuals, but not currently user friendly for #pharma & academia
I'm not able to go but still looking forward to #1AMconf tomorrow. Yay for live streaming!
